- What is the difference between being busy and being active?
A1 I keep thinking of the term "busy work."
— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 24, 2019
I used to talk about "widget tasks" on our Marketing Momentum podcast... In reality, the widget tasks were a case of being busy but getting something done that needed to get done, while decompressing #SocialCafe
A1: Active is typically being engaged. Busy can be engaging, but not necessarily. #SocialCafe— Dan MacDougall (@Dan_MacDougallx) July 24, 2019 | A1) A sustained leader never confuses activity with progress. #socialcafe— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) July 24, 2019 |
- How do you know if you are caught in the chains of “much doing?”
I can relate! You mean, not be busy? Impossible ;). #SocialCafe— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 24, 2019 | A2: Caught in the chains of "much doing" means (to me) that you are so focused on tasks that they become more "mechanical" and not "meaningful". It helps to be able to step back and evaluate...#SocialCafe— Dan MacDougall (@Dan_MacDougallx) July 24, 2019 |
- What can you use to measure if a step will be activity or purposeful action?
A3: Does the step move you closer to a goal, objective or simply something positive! #SocialCafe— Dan MacDougall (@Dan_MacDougallx) July 24, 2019 | A3) Working backwards from vision to mission to goals to action plans (as I do) I know ahead of time that all of my actions are designed to further progress against specific goals. I find that easier to manage and it makes me much more productive. #socialcafe— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) July 24, 2019 |
- What happens to your mind and body when you stay busy?
Exactly! #SocialCafe https://t.co/tFJjAY77w8— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 24, 2019 | That is sometimes hard for folks to internalize. You do not need to make significant changes to make progress. One step forward is still one step toward the goal!#SocialCafe— Dan MacDougall (@Dan_MacDougallx) July 24, 2019 |
- What habits can you build to keep you moving in a purposeful way?
Love it -- planning and focused flexibility :) #SocialCafe https://t.co/gPpPlUZvHg— Deborah (@socialwebcafe) July 24, 2019 | A5) My method of prioritizing tasks every Sunday has become a habit that keeps me focused and on target. #socialcafe— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) July 24, 2019 |
