very true amp! I would like to add that most of the time when
you get in this more, more, more circle it will not improve your
business either...you spend more time being busy and figuring out what to do next or what still needs to be done that you lose percpective.....
Taking the time and moving away from it helps you to look at it
from a distance and to get new views on stuff. When you're only
busting your balls you lose that....same for coding...when I encounter a problem which I can't solve in the beginning I kept breaking my brains on it....now..I stop walk away play some golf
and look at it again when I get back. 9 out of 10 times I solve the
problem very fast. It was something small that was overlooked
or I started thinking to complicated....
Once you lose sight on the stuff that you are doing because you don't allow you the time for it and getting too busy with stuff you think is very important you're heading the wrong way...
Within no time you have too many things and by trying to everything you'll only do them half which not brings the result it could have....you notice it and start even working harder to catch up...but all that happens is you lose productivity, efficiency and you lose the view you need in order to understand what it really was that you were trying to do....
the pile gets bigger, the stress gets higher, you see business sliding down and yet you still think the only way to solve is by working more....
Many succesful companies get killed by their success.... planning,
knowing when to say no, allowing you to take time to do stuff.
That's the most hard thing to get under control...
More hours working does not necesarely result in better results.
Giving your best is one.....getting the best out of yourself is another!
just my thoughts.....I might be very wrong!
