Too busy to grow?
Mass News took on the most familiar excuse there is, not having time, and Chris’s answer from You Are Capable of More: most of life is ordinary days, and how you use them decides where you end up.
Ordinary days add up.
Written by Sarah Ruth, the feature takes busyness seriously without letting it be the whole explanation. Being too busy ranked second among the barriers in Chris’s survey of more than 200 working adults, right behind self-doubt and fear of failure.
It centers on the chapter Time Is Your Edge, which argues that progress does not need a perfect week or an open calendar. It comes from what you do with the everyday time you already have. The article also draws on Chris’s years leading through COVID, when nobody had a perfect plan and the next decision still had to be made.
When the calendar is full.
- Stop waiting for a clear week.It rarely comes. Use the time inside the days you already have.
- Start small, start today.Every chapter ends with an action you can fit into the same day.
- Find the time.Read How to Make Time for Yourself When You Are Busy.
Most people don’t fail. They leave too early.Chris Sund, in Mass News
