The 5-Minute Difference

There is so much to do. I must go, go, go. It is all important stuff, right? I can't drop a ball or let anything fall between the chairs. People are depending on me.

Life is busy. It seems that each year it gets busier. I stop and smell the roses and the seasons have already changed and the roses are gone. There is so much to do. I must go, go, go. It is all important stuff, right? I can't drop a ball or let anything fall between the chairs. People are depending on me.
How many of us have felt like this? I imagine all of us to some degree or measure. We all react differently to these situations. Some people do it all, perhaps cutting corners. Some people let things fail and then are overly critical of themselves, and then some just give up and don't try. So how do people really balance the busy?
Perhaps it is just 5 minutes. 5 minutes to:
  • Brainstorm and do blue-sky thinking
  • Plan out the day and all of your work
  • Prioritize and decide what not to do or what to delay
  • To finish what you are doing and ensure it is always done in high quality
I remember growing up my mom would ask if I know the difference between a good job and a great job...5 minutes.
I guess that what I learned as a child can be completely relevant to what I do in business. And maybe, just maybe I can enjoy the roses this next go-round.
