Are you too busy?

Do you get your head down and move forward? How long is your ‘to do’ list? Do you think you will get it done? How do you determine what you need to get done and when. What do you prioritise?

We are all busy, we all have lots to do. Doesn’t matter if you are CEO or a frontline entry level member of staff, your to do list is just as full. Some people feel that their to do list is more important than yours. What is important to you, may not be important to someone else. Have you thought about finding people that have the same priorities as you to help you get things done?

By working together with another person or group who all have the same goal, you can share the load and get things done quicker. In a household, that means everyone mucking in. In a company that means everyone doing their job that feeds into the strategy.

With that long to do list how do you find people of like mind to help you achieve it? You can join a club, go to networking events, stand out on the street and start asking people walking by. Some are more extreme than the others. If you are busy, how do you find the time for this, what events or clubs do you join?

Sometimes you need to look up and look out and see what is going on in the outside world. When you look up, you see what others are doing, possibly quicker or better than you can do. When you look up, you can see faces, make friends, make connections. These are the people that may have the same priorities as you, you can help them reach their goals, tick off their to do list. They may have information that can help you tick off your to do list.

Win Win!

It may seem a bit strange that by spending your precious time helping other people out would leave you with less time to get your things done. Using your precious time to find people to help, means you are meeting more people that can help you out with great suggestions or even their precious time to help you.

Are you too busy? Think again, start finding those people of like mind and get those heads together to solve their problems and by extension, yours. If you want to help people out and have fun, Tech Talkfest may well be that group of likeminded individuals, but head out there and search for your club if not. There are so many, your group is out there!
