Being Busy is Not Productive

One of the most misleading but commonly held beliefs is being “busy” means that you’re being productive and accomplishing a lot. The problem is that the busy work for most people isn’t focused on the things that need to be done. It’s just that, busy work.

Interesting post, but I'm not sure I agree--especially if a lot of what you do requires social engagement. But one thing I definitely agree on is either making some meetings tight and productive, or just not meeting at all. If it becomes just another distraction and doesn't actually work to coordinate a team's efforts, it's just not worth the trouble.

Wow - guess I'm more of the busy and less of the productive then :( Although as part of my job is in Social Media and blog reading I guess that's not so bad. I wouldn't have read post otherwise :) I will check that book out and take your suggestions on board. Thanks for sharing on Bizsugar.com
