Freelance Writers: Don’t Confuse Busy Work with a Strong Work Ethic
The truth about multitasking (hint: it doesn’t exist)
For years now, I’ve seen writers and business professionals alike fall victim to the lie of “busy work” being considered productive work.
They think that because they are busy doing something in their business they must have a strong work ethic.
This notion is completely false.
What you are about to read is one fellow writer's plea to persuade you to turn away from this lie and embrace the truth of what a strong work ethic really is.
You see, there’s a difference between being stupid and being ignorant. Where there is ignorance there is still hope, but where there is stupidity, hope is gone forever.
In other words, ignorant people have simply not been given the opportunity for knowledge, but stupid people, on the other hand, have been given the opportunity for knowledge and have willfully decided to reject that knowledge and continue down their unsuccessful path.
The article you are about to read is going to empower you with knowledge so that you may become more productive and more successful with your freelance writing business.
