It is very easy to be busy doing tons and tons of work and be getting no results, and no where nearer to the goals you have set.
It is a form of fear. There is a time to plow and then there is a time to seed or sow the seeds in the field. Fear plays a role. I know a lot of people who are hard workers. They will work from start of the day until the finish. They are doing a whole lot of busy work.
I don't know what the seeds are with your life pursuits, but fear will cause your to work extremely hard on the things that matter least and allow your mind to be comforted as the things that matter most are neglected.
Take some time to slow down. "Slow to grow." Write down the 3 most important things about your job. Spend time thinking about how you can get these three things knocked out as early in the day as possible.
You will no longer do the small things out of fear you will do the small things that consumed your day out of momentum. When the 3 biggest most important tasks are out of the way. What I refer to as the "Main thing" then a whole new set of energy will carry you through the rest.
Try it. Write down and fill in the blanks. The three most important areas of focus today are ________, _________, and _________. If you have more make about the 3 most important tasks this morning are, and the 3 most important tasks this afternoon.
