Don't worry to do nothing

Illustration

Most managers think they cannot afford to do nothing. After all, even doing one thing at a time is a luxury today... However, there are situations when doing nothing is the best as well as the most productive solution. You surly know the situations, but you often tend to overlook them. Let's, therefore, focus on these situations with the help of openforum.com.

Are you upset

Whatever the reason is, take a moment to calm down. Do not respond to anything and do not make any decisions.

You feel the need to constantly check your phone or the Internet

Every time the need strikes, take care to do nothing. Then go back to what you are working on.

You are about to go to sleep

Are you not taking your rest because you are afraid to miss something? That cannot last long. Make a habit of turning off your phone, computer and television in the evening and doing nothing before going to bed.

You have just received an e-mail

So what? You know very well that you do not have to respond immediately.

You are pressured to make a quick decision

If anyone wants you to make an immediate decision, he will usually want some benefit for himself and not to you. Always ask for some time to think the issue over.

You are experiencing a technology failure

This could turn even a typically phlegmatic person insane. Smashing the keyboard up will, however, not help you.

You are wasting your time

You are trying to do something, but you are not successful. Then taking a break is definitely a good choice.
