Busy busy like a bunch of ants.
But they have a purpose. Each has a role. And responsibility for filling it. All the activity is for a reason.
What are WE busy about? What a great question posed in our Quote of the Week.
Have you thought about it? Discussed it with your coach? And your team?
Use one or both of these movie clips as a discussion starter. Or to deepen the conversation if you’ve already started it. The first video is set to a toe-tapping tune with visual lessons. The other narrated by The Discovery Channel is loaded with info. Each one is just over 2 minutes long.
Grab some popcorn and enjoy. Then scroll below for suggested questions and next steps that will help you take “corrective” action for stopping the busy-ness. Added benefits: improved morale and productivity.
Thought/Discussion Questions to Help You Identify Ways to Stop the Busy-ness:
1. What are you busy about? Or as Michael Jackson would say, “What’s got you workin day and night?”
2. Whatever it is you are doing…why are you doing it?
3. Based on your desired outcomes what can you STOP doing?
For additional questions and ideas, go to 10 Things to Stop Doing
Look for unnecessary work…duplicate work…work that isn’t contributing to your goals and desired outcomes….things you can move from your TO DO list to your NOT TO DO or STOP DOING list.
It will be great for morale and productivity; health and sanity. Theirs and yours.
Come up with 10 if you can. Even more would be great.
