The “Busyness” Syndrome |
|
|
Why use it A first step in managing change in your work/life is finding
enough “Time” to “Think” about it. Make sure that you are not so busy that
you … “Don’t even have time to think.” How to Use It Workers who complain about having too little time often thrive
on the sense of fulfillment that busyness generates. But this is the “trap
of overwhelming demand.” Workers who get caught in this trap become
prisoners to their routine. o The tyranny of routine
“busywork”: We are all creatures of habits
and routine. There is nothing wrong with routine, except if we mindlessly keep doing the same old
things in the same old ways. A
habituated work pattern closes your mind and prevents you from taking
necessary steps towards improved performance. o The pride of routine: Rather than viewing your work as routine or mechanical, view it
as a way to master your craft. Focus on your routines as an opportunity
for change and personal learning and growth. Use your routines as an
exploration into who you are and how you express yourself with something
larger. So … Find time to think If you really want to manage change, the first thing you need to
do is make a conscious effort to stop
& think about things differently. Give yourself the time to notice
opportunities for improvement and change. |
