Help, I'm too Busy!
Overco ming the Tyranny of Busyness

The building business demands a lot from us!  There is always too much to do and too little time to do it.  To-do lists get longer instead of shorter.  For many of us that leaves only one choice - work harder and longer.

 What is it about time that makes us feel like it is always asking more than we have to give?

 Does this sound like you?  If so, it's likely you've fallen victim to an epidemic called busyness.  But unlike past epidemics, this onerequires your consent.  Its cause is an unrealistic and unhealthy need to always be doing more with less time in order to feel productive.  And it is exhausting!  Read More -

 

Resources of the Month:
  1. To escape the tyranny of busyness and rise above it, leaders must learn how to learn.  In his classic
    Fifth Discipline, Peter Senge concisely delivers a framework for exploding old learning disabilities that hinder productivity and rob us of our time.
  2. Uncertain about your financial goals? Try the Legacy  GPScorecard profit-planning tool. A great framework for financial discipline and growth!
  3. If accountability seems like an unreachable goal in your organization,check out Peter Bregman's great article;
  4. Struggling to get all of the moving pieces of your construction company organized and productive?  Zoho cloud-based software provides an amazing suite of integrated apps that will streamline your business and increase productivity, including an easy to use CRM ( lead and sales tracking) , Cliq channels for team collaboration and much more.
  5. Is busyness choking the life out of you and your business?  Take back control by finding or refreshing your real purpose for doing what you do.  Purpose, as Gary Keller puts it in his remarkable book " The One Thing", is the ultimate source of personal strength.
