May 28 - Are you busy, yet not productive?

May 28 – Are you busy, yet not productive? Are your days fast-paced with lots thrown at you at any given moment? At the end of each day, do you continue to see things you really wanted to get to not getting done? Do you feel as though your own priorities are continually getting shuffled to the end of the line in order to manage or handle all else that seems to be coming at you throughout your day? Is everyone else’s priority taking your own priorities hostage?

When you aren't feeling productive, despite being busy throughout the day, it is because you are busy doing things that are not fulfilling your key desires and responsibilities. You may need to take a moment to truly understand what your priorities are in the face of all that is being demanded upon you. Seizing control of your time and what is a priority is reinforcing what truly matters.

Questions and insights to help your priorities move front and center.
