Busy doing what? ;-)

How often do you find yourself wishing you had more time? Or maybe you have difficulty concentrating because there's just so much to do? Or perhaps you even feel that life has become one big rush?

Well it could be that you're addicted to Urgency ;-)

In these modern times, where the pace of life seems to have got faster and faster, many people have simply forgotten how to slow down and are prioritising the Urgent over more Important aspects of their lives.

Have a go at this simple quiz to find out whether you're addicted. Count the number of statements that apply to you. If many of the statements apply then just pause for a moment. Identify one or two simple changes that you will make right now to help you slow down, create more time and focus on what matters most.
