Why are you always so busy?
How has your week been? Busy? Productive? You have an average of 8 hours a day, but in those hours, how many hours are actually focused on work?
So many people get distracted while they work, I find it impossible to believe they get any work done within that time. Wouldn’t it be great to have a way of shaving off 2, 3 4 hours off that so you can enjoy more of your life? What would you do if you could save 3 a day? Let me know below...

so how's he of week been busy productive
I actually don't like using a word busy
at all or even productivity now being
productive is something else but using
productivity tools to be able to make
you less busy I think is kind of count
counterintuitive I do things but I'm not
busy people should enjoy their lives
rather than being busy and then having
systems in place to actually fix their
busyness with productivity apps and
things like that
so let's put it this way you probably
work eight hours a day or nine hours a
day eight hours a day okay that's the
average you know nine to five how many
of those hours have been foiled by
notifications and distractions and phone
calls when you you know when you didn't
when you're focusing on something or all
of a sudden you get a phone call or a
tap on the shoulder if you're actually
working in a in an office environment
how many of those hours all those times
have created an hour or two or three
there haven't made you productive I get
a lot of I see a lot of posts and tweets
and videos about people you know wearing
headphones when they're in a open plan
office and so on it I just cannot deal
with the fact how they work and and what
they do now a lot of it has to do with
work environments obviously to have a
nice environment luckily I have a nice
office to work in that's which but a lot
of people don't but you know remote
workers for instance you know wear
headphones and go into a cafe or library
or something which is which is actually
great but the people who get distracted
all the time with their notifications on
their computer or their phone
and so on there must be a better way
right so out of the eight hours how many
of those hours were actually focused
work it's a question I'd like to know
put it down below because I'm just
amazed how you know with all the clients
that I work with and I've worked with a
lot of clients it's amazing how many
notifications they have I mean I'm
having a meeting with somebody they're
coming in for help I'm having a meeting
with them and all of a sudden they get a
call and then our meeting stops
I mean firstly that's rude you shouldn't
be doing that to anybody and I hate it
when it happens to me you shouldn't be
doing it to anybody so those kind of
distractions you need to fix it just
it's important that kind of a kind of
environment so yeah let me know below
how many hours you actually worked
actually focused and do you think you
can actually shave off a lot of hours I
believe you can work probably four or
five hours a day I don't think you need
to work anymore than that five is like
pushing it you know as I said before in
my previous videos there's a running
joke that I only worked three hours a
day which is kind of true to a certain
degree so do you want to work three
hours a day or four or five and have
those three other hours that's obviously
depending on whether you're traveling to
work on our because that's another two
hours
so those three hours that you could save
it per a day what would you do with it
seriously what would you do with it you
do a lot with it I think anyway that's
the video for today have a great weekend
I'll see you next week and remember keep
it simple talk to you soon ciao
