The old sayings are the best!! It’s better to do a few things really well than a lot of things badly. Whenever we take something new on, something else has to go. A good look at what you are currently doing is the next step. You need to distinguish between real work and busy work:

-       Real work contributes significantly to the growth of your business, busy work stunts growth

-       Real work impacts positively on your bottom line, busy work distracts you from your bottom line

-       Real work utilises your skills, expertise and knowledge, busy work underuse’s you

-       Real work is challenging, busy work is mundane and boring

-       Real work only you can do, busy work is what anyone can do which is why you should outsource it!

If your work overwhelms you but doesn’t challenge you, you’re probably suffering from too much busy work! Put together a list of all the work that comes in on one day. Identify which is real work and which is busy work. You know what to do next!
