Life gets extremely busy at times. Deadlines at work clash with activities at home, and you run out of time to get things done. It is stressful, but we must admit it is unavoidable. Like most things in life, it is how we react to a situation that defines us and our ability to cope. Here are a few things we should remember.
1. Keep your perspective. When you don’t have time to think or plan, and your day is tightly packed with specific activities, it is easy to lose perspective of the overall day. Make sure you have at least five minutes in the morning and five minutes in the evening to reflect and plan. Keep your focus on the bigger picture.
2. Don’t stress. This is easier said than done. The truth is that most of what we do is not a life or death emergency. If you remain calm, you will actually achieve more. Taking time for a smile instead of a grimace will yield results. You can be a positive example for your team.
3. Don’t give up on what’s important. When time is limited, you will miss a few deadlines. When you can least afford it, the unexpected will steal even more time. Know your priorities and allocate time. You may miss the initial target, but you will be able to charge back strong if you make small continual progress. Don’t give up.
If we never experienced life without challenges, how boring would life be. Embrace the busy times. Enjoy the ability to slow down and share a positive attitude. Never forget to find fun in what we do.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything
