Busy Does Not always Mean Productive

How many times have you noticed that things don't always go according to plan?  Most entrepreneurs are overloaded and very much out of control.  People do not realize that the brain can not be available 24/7.  The brain can not focus on two demanding things at one time therefore multi-tasking will only eventually frazzle the brain.  Just because you are busy does not mean you are being productive either.  If you are not intentional then life will be in control of you.  This is information received from Dr Edward Hallowell author of the book success book Crazy Busy.  Dr Hallowell suggests we get rid of our blackberry or turn it off for some well needed time to ourselves.  It is suggested to get a planner and set aside a fresh half hour for yourself.  Everyone has a morning burst and that time should be used to tackle more difficult tasks not to answer email.  It is also recommended to get a sufficient amount of sleep as well.  So when you find yourself stuck to your computer screen or laptop better know as "screen sucking" you know that it is time to take a "time out" and prioritize your life so that overload does not become something you get familiar with in the future.  You will find that your attitude will be more positive when you give yourself some breathing room to focus on one thing at a time and do it properly.  You will also find that you get more done as well.
