"Ahhh... I am going to pull my hair out if I don't get this done"-Anonymous
Do we perform our best work under short deadlines? If we had all the time in the world would we do a better job?
Often times we live on the edge. We push and push ourselves to get as much done as possible. We appear to be so busy. Are we or are we just crazy busy? As a person who often takes on more than can be done in a reasonable time I think it is the second.
In the book Crazy Busy the author describes being stuck in a wood cabin with no cell phone reception and only a rotary phone. He went nuts as he dialed numbers. He even timed himself how long it took him to dial a number... 11 seconds... that is how crazy busy we have gotten.
Maybe we can do a better job prioritizing and actually doing the things when they are suppose to be done. Then we might not feel so busy...
Today's question is:
"Are you crazy busy or just busy?"
