Do you ever feel busy but not productive?

I found myself inspired by this recent interview with Greg McKeown, author of Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.

In this short video, McKeown explains that if you don’t prioritize your life, someone else will. I would even go so far to say that if you don’t prioritize your life, everyone else and everything else will.

At times we can find it hard to escape the state of busyness and overwhelm we seem to find ourselves in. This has a direct impact on our ability to find enough time for the precious things in life.

Watching this interview has reminded me that I need to force myself to step back from all of the overwhelm in order to try and identify the vital few areas that are truly important to me. Then I need to become more comfortable with saying no to everything else.

I hope it inspires you to say ‘No’ to distractions and focus on that which is important.
