More than ever there is this pressure to be achieving goals, be busy all the time, and live life to the full.
Some days it’s OK to run out of steam and say ‘manana’ or other such phrases like ‘fu.. it’.
Why is it OK? Because we are a human,not a machine.
If we continue to push ourselves when we’re a bit frazzled, we lose our buzz, and then actually doing more ends up achieving a whole lot less.
Longer term, it’s more important to get to the point, where we organise ourselves more permanently to avoid running out of steam.
What I have learnt over my life is, that it is far better to do less than more. Most of our results come from focusing our efforts on the things that will make a big difference. Learn what they are and then do them.
Being busy is not a recipe for success. Success comes from finding out what matters and doing that, and that only. Positive procrastination, putting off, what is not going to make a difference, permanently.
