Question: How busy should a construction project manager act?
Answer: Not too busy. Though comforting, self-imposed busyness can be a diversionary port in the storm, keeping your focus on short-term, trivial urgencies in order to avoid the more important and difficult issues of long-term consequence. Staying busy on an endless treadmill for the sake of staying busy does not guarantee success. Often being too busy can put your mind someplace other than where it should be.
Point: Ask yourself: “Do I need to focus on what is urgent, or on what is important?”
