There is a saying that reminds us “if you want to get something done, give it to a busy person to do”.

Busy people are less likely to be stressed out.

Overwhelmed people who have trouble managing work, home and themselves are most probably going to complain of stress.

Manage your work effectively, reduce stress.  The secret?  Only 20% of everything you need to do daily is responsible for 80% of productivity.  Good time managers know multi-tasking is an excuse for bad prioritizing.

Phones work both ways – texting/emailing and calling.  Believe it or not, a short call takes up less time than continual emails.  Email to confirm, phone to discuss.

Saying no is okay.  Busy people who get more things done with less stress also know how to say no, I can’t – sorry.  Adding tasks on to an infinite list of things to do spells a life of stress.

See digital devices as tools not a way of life.

Not everything needs to be a burden on your shoulders.

But when you accept a responsibility, own it and see it as an opportunity to prove once again that busy people put stress in its place by creating a life of order.
