Then it hit me: Being more productive didn’t mean I was doing the most important work; it only meant I was reacting to other people’s priorities faster.
Ah, this goes hand-in-hand with people pleasing. We react to other’s priorities before our own more often than not. It’s destructive because we want to care for others, to be nice, or to be pleasant enough so they like us but in the end, we are neglecting our needs or wants.
