Busy or Productive? Determine if what you're working on makes sense in your business.

How do you determine if you’re spending your time being busy or productive? How do you know if you’re adding value to your day, company, or team? 
Ask yourself these questions and decide.

To determine if you are keeping yourself busy:⁠

  • ⁠Is what I’m doing right now necessary? If you are doing something out of habit and it’s not necessary, get rid of it.⁠
  • Is the work that I’m doing in my zone of genius? Or should I pass it on to someone else?
  • Can an expert take care of this task and do it better and faster?


To determine if you are being productive:⁠

  • ⁠Is this a great way to use my time?
  • Am I buying back my time if I do this?
  • Am I increasing my company’s revenue if I hire someone to handle things I typically do while I work on things that make more money in my business?
  • What are my two or three priority projects for the day? 
  •  Do I have enough time to do things I enjoy and fill my cup? 
  •  Did I spend time moving my business and my life forward?
