Busy

More about the book

It's common to hear the word 'busy' in response to the question, 'How are you?' The demands on our time, overflowing inboxes, and increasing expectations contribute to this feeling of overwhelm. However, busyness is not essential; it's a false and unhelpful belief. While it’s a normal reaction to a world filled with obligations, there are alternative responses. Drawing on psychological research, the author tackles the issue of modern busyness, presenting four key strategies to thrive amidst the overload: 1. **Mastery** - Regain control over your life by taking responsibility for your choices and setting boundaries to shield yourself from excessive demands and information. 2. **Focus** - Success isn't about doing more; it's about making an impact. This section outlines strategies to shift your career approach away from mere productivity. 3. **Engagement** - Busyness can lead to disengagement from what truly matters. Here, you'll discover keys to reconnecting with your work and personal values. 4. **Momentum** - Even recognizing the need for change can feel overwhelming. This section helps you find the energy and clarity to initiate a transition toward a less busy life. These strategies provide a pathway to thriving rather than merely surviving in a busy world.
