Being busy may sound like a lie, because it is all about prioritiesand the way you manage everything. You need a better approach to manage your tasks and your personal life, in order to maintain a balance between both and this will offer you ample time for the things you really wanted to do.

Being busy is a status

The status of being busy become somehow a badge of honor: if you are not busy, you are not considered a hard working or important person. But busyness doesnt make you more productive. The results from a recent study led by David Meyer from the University of Michigan, showed that switching what you are doing in the middle of a task increases the time it takes to finish both tasks by 25%.

Talk about priorities

Your human brain prevents you to concentrate on two things at once and this means that it lacks the capacity to perform both tasks successfully. Consequently, you have to put first some tasks and now you talk about priorities. You may choose which task you perform first by the importance you assign it, but at the end of the day, all the tasks must be finished, so the most important is ending successfully your activities.

Schedule everything

Organizing your activities makes you more productive and the tools that can help you reaching your full potential are: the to do list and the calendar. But these tools can be replaced with a single service: a CRM application. Not only you can schedule your tasks, but also you can have all your data in one place. Having an organized schedule indicates the exact time and place of appointments, which leads to more focus on the activities you develop.

Also, according to the researchers, you tend to hide behind the mask of busyness and in fact, you only fear of failure and you procrastinate your daily activities.How are you keeping busy? You use our valuable time doing things that arent necessary or important, but these make us feel productive. For example, responding to emails which are not urgent, when in fact you know you have a big project that you need to finish.

Try not to procrastinate
