The BusYness of Deadlines

Are we as human beings not funny creatures. Give us a deadline, and we will work towards it diligently. Meaning that we will desperately grab as it two days before, realise there is two week's work involved, and run around like a crazed maniac trying to get the job done.

Why do we never plan? Allow enough time?

We are so desperate to make tight deadlines, have people around us believe we are way too important, answer all calls to our cellphones, reply to all emails sent our way. Why? Why do we battle so much to focus on the important areas in our lives, and honour ourselves along the way? 

It is almost as though we deliberately sabotage ourselves by knowing we will burn out. Knowing we will rant and rave, shout and scream, at all in our path, as we hurtle towards the finish line. And yet we continue to perform in the same way.

Personally I believe time management, and planning, is the most important gift you can give yourself, your family, and the organisation you work for, be it your own or somebody else's.

After all, is this not you being kind to one another? Have a beautiful Worker's Day!
