Finding Directions In A Distracted World.

I have come to a point in life where I certainly know for sure that being busy doesn't necessarily mean you are making progress and I have had my fair shares, instances where I used to press phone all day and night not that I am making money out of the phone am pressing but that I am just chatting with people who I barely even know and that am whiling away time watching reels on my phone.

Doing that use to deprive me of engaging in other important things and I end up procrastinating those relevant things to another day, if I was asked what prevented me from doing those things I would definitely say I was busy or engaged. Other instances is when I was in last semester, I got occupied with activities like going to church almost everyday, taking others tutorials on areas of their difficulties, being there for my friends when they need me and in doing all these I gradually started drifting away from studying regularly, the main reason why I came to Pankshin became the least of my priorities.

Looking at this things you would see that they aren't really total waste but I wanted to be involved in all of them to the extent I was always occupied each single day but I wasn't achieving those goals that I came to achieve, when I realized I lacked direction as I walked through life I decided to rewind and catch my breath because lass lass if I am not there tomorrow those things would successfully happen without me being involved, so I decided to ask myself a few questions.

Is this activities moving me closer to my goals? Am I progressing or do I need adjustment? Do I think I am just preoccupied with unnecessary activities? Some of these questions reawakened my self consciousness and I had to cut down on alot, well that's my take on how being busy stop us from making progress in life and I hope you don't fall in the same ditch unconsciously.

😘 Thank you all, have a wonderful weekend.

Same here, I will be on my phone either watching reels or watching movies or chatting with friends that what i supposed to do I will be procrastinating it because of how occupied I was that of have been asked that why didn't I do that thing I will be like I was busy. I love the way you said even if we die today, that doesn't stop people no to do their job again.

You can be busy without making a single progress, you will just find yourself moving in circles.

Huhm, the truth remains that being occupied or always busy will not and does not equate making progress. And being busy most times cloud our eyes from seeing that we are not really moving forward.

Thanks for sharing.,
