Being busy is not a badge of honour!

Oct 10

Right, I'm calling it! Being busy is not a badge of honour! Being busy doesn’t mean you're important, and it doesn't even mean you're productive. Ouch!? Right!

I want to draw attention to “busyness” before is turns into burn-out.

I've heard these phrases from my busy coaching clients:

"I am just so busy"
"If I don't do it, no-one will"
"I have back to back meetings and no time to actually get the work done in between"
"I have financial targets I need to hit and if I don't, vital services can't happen"

Have you said similar?

How “busyness” presents itself to my busy coaching clients:

Working 50+ hour weeks
Replying to emails around the clock
Logging on during annual leave
Procrastination
Missing deadlines
Not managing staff well
Feeling under immense pressure
Ignoring physical needs (going to the toilet!)
Needing to go off sick

Have you experienced any or all of these?

Yes, fundraising and charity work can feel never-ending at times (most of the time), but the energy and well-being of you and colleagues has limits and should be prioritised and protected.

Being busy is not a badge of honour. Let's stop glorifying busy culture.

Coaching can help you to manage your workload and other people expectations.
