Ok, brace yourselves for a news flash.
We’re all busy.
Stacked, crammed, up-against-it.
The pressure’s on, the diary’s full.
We’re all in the same boat.
So here’s my problem: “I’m too busy...”
What exactly is “too busy”?
In my book, it actually means “I’m too busy for you.”
Just be honest – tell it how it really is.
Otherwise, it just sounds like an excuse.
Even when your plate is full, there’s something that can be done.
Delegation, prioritisation, diary management – all great ways of finding time to help out.
Some people have already got the hang of it.
Even when they’re snowed under, they still find a way of offering support.
It only takes few moments to reschedule your workload and lend a hand.
You’d be amazed at how much extra time you’ll find.
That’s the funny thing about time – it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
