When people get busy, people stop thinking. Unfortunately when your busy is the time when you need to use your brain the most. People just literally get too busy to think! Meanwhile you should be contemplating:

1. How can I do this in the most efficient manner possible?

2. Could I be leveraging someone else to do this?

3. Above all, look at the big picture: Why the hell am I doing this and is getting me towards my goals?

After going full speed ahead for months on end, people find that they need to take a vacation or retreat. Most of the time vacations are just an escape where you think even more about nothing!

The point of all this is, everyday people need to take a half hour or so, relax, reflect and plan ahead. Keep what works, change what doesn’t. There’s nothing more powerful than using your brain! Take a retreat everyday, or better yet, think about what your doing all the time and there will be no need for a retreat!

A wise man once said: busyness is not your friend.
