In today’s business culture, “busy” is often worn like a badge of honour.
Back-to-back meetings? Swamped with emails? No time to stop?
You must be important. Right?
But let’s take a step back.
What if being busy isn’t a sign of success — but a warning sign?
What if the way you use your time is telling you (and everyone around you) something much deeper?
This week in our Take Back Time campaign, we’re asking one powerful question:
What do your time habits reveal about your leadership, your boundaries, and your beliefs?
“I’m too busy” is rarely about time
If you find yourself constantly saying:
“I don’t have time to work on the business…”
“There’s just too much going on right now…”
“I’ll sort that when things quiet down…”
It’s time to challenge that thinking.
The truth is: You will never have more than 24 hours in a day.
But the way you relate to those hours? That’s entirely within your control.
What your time habits reveal
🧠 Your mindset
Do you treat time like a tool or an enemy?
Leaders with a scarcity mindset around time often react instead of plan. They scramble, firefight, and stretch themselves too thin.
❤️ Your values
What makes it onto your calendar? What gets postponed?
Your time choices reflect your priorities — whether or not you’ve named them out loud.
👀 Your blind spots
Do you believe no one else can do it as well as you? That delegation takes longer than doing it yourself?
These beliefs create bottlenecks — and reveal a lack of trust in your systems or your team.
🎯 Your boundaries
When do you say no? When do you say yes?
Time habits reveal how well you’re protecting the space you need for focused work, thinking time, or simply rest.
Want to find out what your habits are really saying?
This week, we’ve created a simple but powerful tool:
📄 Your Personal Relationship with Time Questionnaire
Download it here:
It takes just 10 minutes — and it will give you huge insight into:
Where you’re acting from default instead of intention
What beliefs might be driving your time use
Where small changes could unlock hours of breathing room
Because leadership isn’t about doing more.
It’s about making time for what matters most — and setting the tone for your team to do the same.
You don’t need more hours. You need more clarity.
Reclaiming time starts with reflection.
This week, start by asking: What do my habits say about how I see time… and how I see myself as a leader?
Then decide: What do I want them to say instead?
Thanks for being part of Take Back Time.
We hope this week sparked honest reflection — and gave you tools to lead with more intention, not just more speed.
As always, join the conversation over on LinkedIn— we’re sharing stories, strategies and mindset shifts every day.
Let’s stop wearing “busy” like a badge — and start working with time, not against it.
