#71 - How To Win The Battle With Busyness

For accountants, busyness seems like a necessary part of the job; like having a computer and a calculator.  An accountant who isn't describing themselves as busy is looked upon as either lazy or in trouble.   A typical busy day as an accountant and a mom often starts with waking up and already dreading the busy day ahead, walking into the office and getting hit with other people battling busyness and then working through it all in order to get home to keep being busy.  It's no wonder working moms experience burnout at such a high rate!   But somewhere along the way, accountants seemed to agree to believe that busyness was a fact and that stress was the fuel necessary to get everything done.  If you believe in the formula "accountant + mom = busyness", then I have a much better way to help you battle busyness, to feel much better and to be more effective.   The heavy weight associated with busyness for accountants and for working moms doesn't need to be "just the way it is".  You have more power than you realize to win the battle with busyness, without sacrificing anything in the process.    This week I'm going to share what busyness really is, why it's a problem and what to do instead.
