Break Your Busy - Set Your Creativity Free - A Disruptively Simple Approach to Better Life and Time Management
Change now. Unlock your time and creativity. We have inherited an urgency to do more. We strive to be ever more efficient regardless of how effective this never ending work we incessantly keep doing actually is. We feel a desperate need for better life and time management techniques to help reduce stress and overcome overwhelm so that we can continue to be yet more productive. Despite our best efforts these surface level solutions only tackle the symptoms of the High Definition Life context we are all living in.
They ignore the underlying cause of the discord and conflict that drives this incessant cycle of work for work's sake. To solely use time management, motivation and anti-procrastination techniques as a way to help you feel better, less stressed and more purposeful is like trying to keep the rain off with a sieve during a thunderstorm. You will get soaked wet through and your life will still be riddled with Busy Work.
When you are fully connected to your creativity, in whatever form it takes, you’ll have no need for the sticking plaster of better time management. Your Real Work of the moment will be known to you and everyone else you come in contact with. Resolving never-ending priority conflicts, being pulled from pillar to post, taken for granted, overworked and underpaid will become things of the past before you know it.
The need for external motivation subsides and procrastination disappears by taking responsibility for what you really want in your life and finally Breaking Your Busy. When the dust settles you will be doing what you want to do instead of finding ways to force yourself to do the things you don’t. You will feel more purposeful, fulfilled, happier and in tune with your creativity. You will be willing to take action to bring it to life in the world, either at home, in your relationship, in your community, at work or in your small business enterprise.
With this book, you'll quickly be able to identify what Busy Work is for you and start using simple ways to eliminate it from your life quickly, efficiently and permanently.
How will you Break Your Busy?
Prior to recognising the difference between Busy Work and Real Work for me personally I was disillusioned, unfulfilled and didn’t have a hope of turning my ideas and visions into reality. As soon as I could tell them apart I had more time, energy and focus on implementing necessary changes in my life and being better prepared for and available to my neglected creativity. All of a sudden my stalled plans were set in motion and personal success goals reached through consistent action.
What Break Your Busy (BYB) has done for me:
I now only work only 2/3 the time I used to before BYB.
I have all but eliminated Busy Work from my life. I no longer feel the need for motivation or procrastination.
I know what I’m doing and Why so get it done and enjoy the process.
I waste much less money, time, energy and focus than when I was pandering to Busy Work.
At least 80% of the work I actually do is what I call Real Work.
I have more time, space and energy for idea generation, exploration and implementation.
My mind is stronger, faster and more tuned to my creative instincts.
I am more in control of my thoughts, feelings and emotions and use them to my creative advantage.
I feel like I am giving more of myself to the world and living my gifts more authentically.
I'm clear on the Why, How and What of both my work life and personal life.
I'm able to keep re-mastering The Seven Works to enjoy a more balanced, productive, meaningful, fulfilling and happier life.
