How many speeding tickets do you have to get to know you rush too much? Do you realize you could be putting a loved one in danger by your stressful being busy?

1) Traffic tickets- We all lead very busy lives, we even on occasion will double book ourselves to get just one more task done. While rushing around and driving to and from appointments, work, or as the family taxi, we drive too fast and take chances. We could in a worst-case scenario have an accident and hurt a loved one or even ourselves. However, as fate would have it we just get a speeding ticket.

Initially, we are upset with the police officer or radar trap. We are extremely stressed when we are avoidably detained while the formal ticket is being written up. Then things always get worse if we had the kids in the car with us, our rushed schedule must be revised.
We vow to ourselves, we will do better next time. We will drive calmer and more relaxed, next time. Instead of driving response enabling and lawfully in the first place.

2) Cutting corners- Have, you ever rushed though a task or chore only to think, well that is good enough, for now and consider the task done?
Have you skimmed though your e-mails and just did not get all of them read, concerned the task done, to find out later that due to your rushing you missed a very important meeting opportunity?

Have you ever decided to wear that impressionable suit, only to find out that the panty hose you were to wear with that skirt had a huge run? Do you remember your option of putting on a pair of slacks and calling it good enough? Rushing and being stressed puts you in an attitude of lack and in an attitude of less then your best work.

3) It will catch up with you- The day will come, and very soon, when the ticket and fine is in the mail. This demand that you must change your schedule because going to traffic school for eight hours is mandatory becomes a reality.

And what about your good enough for now, excuses, for getting things done. This attitude will also catch up with you sooner then later. This really puts the stops on many of your relationship building attempts, your safety net for referrals and networking. Work associates will not trust you to be a team player. Moreover, perhaps your credibility as an effective businessperson is threatened along with your positive cash flow. All this is decreased because of your stressed out rushed and that it will be good enough attitude. You did not uphold the excellence that is standard with the calmer more relaxed purposeful businessperson.
