Busy and Productive... not the same...



"Just because you are busy, doesn't mean you are productive."
 
     What a thought... Someone recently said this to me... not in a mean way but rather in a "think about it" sort of way. Busy is not equal to productive. I am so guilty of making myself busy that this thought completely shocked me. I think back to times while I was working on papers or research... Yep. I was definitely guilty of looking/keeping busy, but not getting anything done. That is a very quantitative way of looking at this thought. But venture with me to look at it from a qualitative way...

     My overall life... Is it productive? Now, I'm not talking about one area (such as class, clubs, or work) but rather the overall thing. Am I being productive? Am I making a difference in the lives of others? Am I working to spread God's love and Word? Am I accomplishing my big goals in life (if you don't have goals set, I challenge you to work on it)?

     I know, once again I am going to leave you with a bunch of questions... But I have been thinking, and I hope you do too... Are you busy or productive? Can I manage being busy AND productive? How can I be productive in my life?
