Why can’t we get anything done? We are so busy, but we are not getting anything done. Why?

Yes, why can’t we get things done?

If you are not getting anything done, what are you doing to yourself?

One of our goals in life is to be busy doing something meaningful, not to be busy doing nothing.

In today’s business life, we are either busy doing something or we are just busy doing nothing.

We all want to get things done. We want to be productive in life. We want to show to ourselves that we are capable of doing real things.

Why are we not getting anything done. Why are we so busy, confused?

Because the society rewards working hard, not working smart. People are working really hard, but getting nothing done. People are working hard, but they don’t care how much they get done. We have a lot to do at home and in the office, but no time to finish anything. There is no difference between work-life balance anymore.

Productivity is about quality, not quantity.

Productivity is not about how hard you work, it is about how much you get done.

No matter where you are, if you want to get things done, practice the following strategies:

  • Take your time to think, to rest, to connect with yourself, to be happy, to do things right, to correct your mistakes, to feel good about yourself.
  • Take time to meditate. Take a wake, if possible, around your home or office. Take small breaks in between your work.
  • Take your time to just sit back and relax for 10 minutes or less. Why? Because we are created to ALWAYS connect and renew ourselves.
  • No matter how busy you are, always approach things in positive ways.
  • Do not accept what you cannot finish.
  • Be happy.
  • Don’t take yourself too seriously. Just enjoy your work and life.

Know this: If you want to get things done, learn how to relax, think, and give your best. You can do it.

This Is Why Comparing Yourself To Others Is Not Helping You

When we compare ourselves to others, we are not helping ourselves, we are destroying ourselves.

Ask yourself: Why am I comparing myself to other people? Are we created the same? Are we pursuing the same goals in life?

If you compare yourself to others, you are making yourself inferior to them. You are telling yourself that they are better than you. You are telling yourself that they worth more than you do. You are telling yourself that you do not deserve anything in life. More important, you are planting a bad seed in your mind- the seed of inferiority.

Remember, only you can make yourself feel inferior. Stop making yourself feel inferior. You can do that by changing your thoughts about yourself.

The only way to stop comparing yourself to others is to see yourself as a great person, as a unique person.

Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”

Yes, only you can do that. It is within your power. You have the power to control your mind. If you can control your mind, you can control what and how you see and think about yourself.

Mark Twain said, “Comparison is the death of joy.”

Stop comparing yourself to others. They have their own issues to solve. You are unique. You are you. You are not like anyone and you can never become like anyone. They can never become you.
