A wise man once pointed out to me that the most active animal on the barnyard is a chicken that has its head cut off. merely generating a lot of activity is not necessary a sign of life .from time to time I have been confused on this point , and I let others dictate to me how I should conduct myself . They made me believe that if I was not very busy ,I was not capable of being productive.
let's start by coming up with a new model for success that does not necessary equate activity with productivity. while it is true that you will never accomplish anything , it so also true that to much busyness can actually blur our ability to think strategically and use resources to their greatest advantage.
learn how to say ''NO''.Be thoughtful about the tasks you undertaken and use your skills and gifts effectively to accomplish what only you may be able to do while letting others do what they can do. leadership sometimes means slowing down and being strategic in activity . Time is often your most limited resource . Look at the time available to accomplish the task .Decide how to best use your effect in the available time and work backward from the deadlines to the present situation .stop and think so you can think of stopping .
if you want to build something that has real life of its own , focus on your true objective and breath life into your effort through strategic planning .
The End
