Be Busy or Be Productive

Inspirational Power Quote

 

Be Busy or Be Productive

 

"It's not so much how busy you are,

but why you are busy.

The bee is praised.

The Mosquito is swatted."

 Mary O'Connor

   

As I see it. . . . . . . .

It's not a question on how busy you are, what is critical is how productive you are. 

Be clear on what is the most valuable use of your time, energy and efforts.   

Focus your efforts on what is the most important objective for you accomplish, and then engage in most productive actives to achieve the desired outcome. 

Just say no to unproductive activities.   

Rate the important of your objective and get busy on your most important objectives.   

Focus on being productive not busy.

Thanks Lou for the reminder.  Sometimes it is so easy getting busy but not productive.

There must be a fine line between busy and productive. Now if only I could define it. Thanks for the post. Your posts are always interesting.

Busy for busy sake is counterproductive. Busy with a pan of action is productive...pretty simple

Thanks Lou

As long as my marketing guru is gone, I swat both bees and mosquitoes. Anything that flies has to be at least the size of a hummingbird not to get swatted by me. But I understand what you're saying, and I agree, too.
