Why give up busyness?
You might just find you get more done...

Busyness has become a disease.
The developed world is suffering from an epidemic of major proportions, and the disease at the heart of it is busyness. We are addicted to doing one thing after another with as little down-time as possible. This is a sickness, a spiritual sickness.

Why is busyness so bad?

• It distorts your perception
• It makes you feel self-important
• It makes you rude
• It’s an excuse for impatience
• It’s an excuse for not getting things done
• It’s addictive
• It burns you out
• It’s lazy – chronic busyness occurs when you have not asked the important questions or decided on your priorities

Learn Time Wisdom in an hour and get your life back!

Praise for Beyond Busyness

Every second gone is one less to live. This could be a depressing perspective. But in Stephen Cherry's thoughtful and wise book, the lessons he teaches serve a far better purpose. Simply and concisely, he shows us how to use the time that we know we have, to reach the potential that we think we might have.

Being too busy is an excuse. It is a delight to read a book that gives you permission to stop, to get off the treadmill, to take a deep breath and think about what you are doing, why, and where it is taking you.
