Synopsis

Forbes - "One of the books everyone on your team should read."

Everyone is busy. And it's killing us all.

Hurry is the new normal. When someone asks us how we're doing, we tell them that we're "good... but busy." We want to achieve our dreams and live a significant life, so we cram our calendars with nonstop activities.

Instead of feeling fulfilled, we're distracted, exhausted, and overwhelmed. We have too much to do and not enough time.

But it doesn't have to be this way!

Garland Vance knows how you feel. In Gettin' (un)Busy, he shares how he nearly burned out while leading a nonprofit, having a family, and working on his doctorate in leadership and spiritual formation. He discovered a powerful, proven, and research-driven system that will help you shed stress, accomplish your dreams, and love life. You will learn:
-the inhibiting beliefs that keep you trapped in busyness
-why time management isn't the solution
-how to attain your biggest goals
-the unwanted commitments that keep you from your priorities
-how to take control of your life so that you don't burn out
-and much more....

If you're ready to do less, get more done, and enjoy life, it's time to get (un)busy!
