Listen ""Just Too Busy' Series - 1: Too Busy for the people that count?"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I share a personal story that marked a significant turning point in my life. I realized I was too busy for the people who mattered most, prioritizing work over family and personal relationships. This moment of clarity changed my perspective on what it means to be truly productive.Key Insights:The Wake-Up Call: Caught up in a design strategy project, I reacted negatively when my wife tried to show affection. This incident made me see that I was prioritizing work over my loved ones, creating unnecessary friction.Motion vs. Movement: I prided myself on being busy, but I was focused on the wrong things. It's not about how much you do but whether you're doing the right things. This shift in mindset applies both to personal relationships and professional tasks.People Over Tasks: Realizing that people are the most important aspect of both personal and professional life, I started to prioritize meaningful connections over simply getting things done.This is part one of a series on the pitfalls of being overly busy. Stay tuned for part two, where we'll explore the addictive nature of busyness and how to shift from motion to meaningful movement. ___Videos for all these episodes are on my YouTube channel.If you enjoy my content and you want to get in touch to find out how I could work with you, or someone you know, you can reach me at:My LinkedIn PageOr you can drop me an email.
