‘Saying no to your boss is especially tricky, and the word ‘no’ won’t appear in your answer, ever. That doesn’t mean you can’t negotiate something other than yes. If you are overwhelmed with tasks, it is your responsibility to discuss this with your boss before accepting a new one.’- Michael J. Tougias
‘Working in your stand-out zone requires recognizing when putting in more hours stop being an asset and starts becoming a liability.’– Sara Ross

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.
