“Why am I always in a rush?”
Work expands to fill the time allotted.
Without goals and deadlines we just meander through our days and through our lives.
When you’re in a rush you’re allowing too many urgent but unimportant things to fill your time. That leaves you unfocused and unproductive, but subconsciously you know what must get done.
So as the deadline approaches, your put down your phone, close Facebook, shut down Instagram and get to work…and almost get it done in time.
However, you end up being hurried, harried, and/or late to everything.
It means you have too much on your plate. You’re saying “yes” to too many things that appear to be interesting but aren’t vital to your personal and/or professional goals.
