Don’t be a “Busy Beaver” by Don Saunders
Don’t be a “Busy Beaver”
One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to tell others how busy you are. It seems that everyone uses the “I’m so busy” routine as the way to avoid responsibility. People use e-mails, voice messages, and cell phones to detail all of the activities that prevent them from accomplishing the task at hand. Little do they know that when they use the “I’m so busy” excuse, they are making a huge mistake. By doing so, they run the risk of making themselves appear more important than the person with whom they are dealing. Really important people don’t have to tell you how busy they are; it’s understood. So why make yourself look like a “small timer?”
Moral of the story: Think about others before you act.
