Lesson #3: Know the Difference between Working Hard and Working Smart
“I had a real problem with people overworking actually,” says Orfalea. “They’d work sixty to seventy hours a week in the stores, and they were busy, busy, busy, but the store was dirty and they didn’t see it. I’d say, ‘Why don’t you get the windows cleaned,’ and they would say, ‘I’m too busy.’”
The Urgency of Importance
Every one of us probably knows someone who’s permanently in crisis mode, constantly putting out fires, busy, busy, busy. But, have you noticed, that type of person is frequently stuck somewhere shy of their goals because they never seem to have the time to get to the things they say are important to them?
To-Don't List
Somehow in our culture, “being busy” has been elevated to a status symbol. However, busy does not equal productive! It’s easy to be unceasingly busy with the never ending to-do list.

They are “busy” going nowhere.

6 Steps to Reclaiming Time in Your Day!
What is the no. 1 answer you hear these days in response to the question: "Hey, how are you?" All I ever hear people say is "oh, busy……I'm so busy!" My goodness, I am so sick and tired of hearing that from people. We're all busy – but, for me, my preferred answer to that question is simply: "I'm so happy, thanks!"

Multi-tasking: Crazy Busy, or Just Crazy?
I often observe sales and service professionals who are so busy and who believe that multi-tasking during phone calls, conferences, while driving, etc. makes them more productive.

Personal Goals and Priorities Pathways and Pitfalls (Part One)
What are you so busy doing? Are you working on high leverage activities that will catapult you, your team, and your organization toward your vision? Or are you just busy? In First Things First, Stephen Covey, Roger Merrill, and Rebecca Merrill write, "People expect us to be busy, overworked. It's become a status symbol in our society - if we're busy, we're important; if we're not busy, we're almost embarrassed to admit it. Busyness is where we get our security. It's validating, popular, and pleasing. It's also a good excuse for not dealing with the first things in our lives."
