Racing from one meeting to the next? Spending every free moment answering e-mails? Never getting any "real" work done? In this chapter, organizational behavior expert Thomas DeLong introduces the first of four traps that keep achievement-craving individuals from realizing their full potential: busyness. Of course you have a lot to do--and some of it is challenging, meaningful work. But if you find yourself stuck doing mundane, repetitious tasks or unable to detach yourself from your BlackBerry or cell phone, you've fallen into the busyness trap. You may look like a superstar, but being perpetually busy robs you of meaningful face-to-face interactions with others and, ultimately, stifles your ability to grow and change. Filled with vivid personal accounts, self-assessment questions that will raise your busyness consciousness, and tactics to get these behaviors under control, this chapter shows you how to escape the busyness trap and reconnect with your purpose. This chapter was originally published as Chapter 6 of "Flying Without a Net: Turn Fear of Change into Fuel for Success."
