Motion Without Progress: The Deceipt Of Feeling Busy

WHY DO WE FEEL BUSY ALWAYS BUT STILL FEEL STUCK IN LIFE

Hello, amazing #scifimultiverse fam, how are you doing? Trust you are enjoying the weather at your location. The harmattan became obvious at my end today. But I am really enjoying it.

At some point in my previous place of work, we hilariously tagged an employee BDN (busy doing nothing). Initially, He was enjoying and responding to the name, thinking that it was a special title from the management, until one aproco (gossip) among us revealed the meaning of the name to him. He complained about it, and it ended there and then.

Many people are always very busy in real life, yet when you approach them or probe what they do, you will find out that they’ve achieved nothing. They continue to run in circles like a ship without a rudder. Such people, at the end of the month, have little or nothing to take care of their needs. This issue has become a norm in society, and people are confused as to the causes and how to address them.

First, the urge to make it fast leads people to set targets that overwhelm them. For example, some people want to ride a Lexus 350 before the end of the year without proper planning, including knowing the price, how to get the resources, and prioritising towards those set goals. At the end, desperation, burnout, stress, anxiety, and failure will be the result.

Secondly, lack of goal setting and clear paths to success, my people perish because of a lack of understanding, said the wise man. If there are no goals set and a clear path to attain those goals, the individual will get stuck, even with all the efforts. Goals must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART); without this, it will be difficult to move forward without getting stuck.

Third, fear of the unknown, the majority of us are in our comfort zone. Therefore, telling the person to leave what he knows to start all over with an idea that may prosper within a space of time might be unconvincing. For example, someone who is in a toxic environment will tell you that they prefer to keep managing the place because they wouldn’t know the terrain of a new place. Most times, too, our fears do not happen, but breaking free from them at the initial stage is the challenge. So fear keeps people stuck in a place, even though they are busy and engaged. When you measure their progress and success, you will find nothing.

Finally, finding a balance between physical well-being and work-life balance is a major criteria to success in life. A healthy man is a wealthy man. While pursuing our dreams through our different daily endeavours, we forget about our heath and hence sickness will creep in with constant stress and burnout. Thereby affecting the little progress we must have made in the beginning and getting stuck.

In conclusion, being productive is not about being busy, but being strategic, intentional, and alive to set goals and objectives. Maintaining focus and diligently setting parameters to measure and review set goals until the desired targets are met.
