Lots To Do
I’ve been running a little rouge at work the last couple of weeks. I end up finding lots of things to do, but many times none of them lead to me making any revenue. Being 100% commission based and basically self-employed, I many times find myself being very “busy” or “active”, but not “productive.”
This has bled over into my personal life as well. I am doing lots of things around the house (putting away dishes I find in the sink, bringing in the delivery packages at the front door, etc.), but not focusing on important things like repairing the towel rack in the bathroom or paying the bill that has been sitting on the counter for 3 weeks.
I’m pretty busy.
But not very productive.
And nothing important is getting done.
A Real Christian Businessman knows that we have to set the example and do things that will generate revenue for our company/business (and make a difference at home!) instead of just doing things to be doing things. This is something that has never been easy for me! I like to touch things and move things and put things away etc… but these last couple of weeks I have really gone overboard with all of these unproductive tasks and my output has stalled.
“Take a lesson from the ants, … Learn from their ways and become wise!” Prov 6:6 (NLT)
I’ve re-committed going forward that even though it is near the end of the year, I am going to focus more on doing things that will directly impact my business and personal life so that the habit will already be in place as the new year rolls around.
