Eventit Pty: Make Sure You Know the Difference Between Busy-ness and Productivity

    SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA, June 27, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Eventit Pty are concerned that being 'busy' is being wrongly praised among business professionals. Putting in extra hours at work, and rushing around to meet a tight deadline is often seen as a badge of honour, and professionals are often quick to tell others just how hectic their lives are. However Eventit Pty believe this needs to change and are adamant that there is a big difference between being busy and being productive. In fact Busyness can lead to stress and puts professionals under extreme pressure which creates the wrong mental state for productivity. Feeling rushed can cause a professional to produce low quality work and become less concerned with the task at hand and more focused on the time frame in which they have to do it in. putting in extra hours can also cause fatigue which impairs cognitive functions, leading to poor decision making and an inability to act appropriately when faced with an unforeseen challenge.

Eventit Pty believe that to be truly productive, professionals need to open their eyes to the damaging effects of being busy. The firm are concerned that much of this 'busyness' is caused by a desire to strike up a positive work life balance, and that juggling commitments can cause people to put unnecessary pressure on themselves. To help people accept that there will be times when one area of life demands more of their attention, and to help them be productive rather than just busy Eventit Pty have shared their professional advice:

1 Delegate

For business professionals, delegation can be a difficult thing to come to terms with. Everyone has their own preferred way of doing things and handing over control to someone else can cause people to worry that the quality of work will drop. However, by handing over the tasks they don't enjoy or feel could benefit from greater expertise can free up more time for professionals to do what they do enjoy. This will ultimately improve the quality of these enjoyable tasks and help a professional rediscover their zest for business.

2 Clear Your Mind

Every morning professionals should write down all the things swirling round their mind, and cross out anything unimportant or trivial. Then, by prioritising the remaining thoughts and tasks they can begin to create a focused plan for the day and avoid falling into the 'busyness' trap.

3 Schedule Down Time

If a professional doesn't do this, they are likely to overlook their need for relaxation and burn out. Whatever may be going on personally and professionally this time should be non-negotiable.

4 Ban the 'B' Word

Refusing to use the word 'busy' can drastically alter how a professional thinks and encourage them to evaluate the real reasons behind their feelings of stress and identify positive ways forward.
