The Achiever

First the good news

Of all the Busyness Personality types, you are the most efficient and productive in all the land. This is because you have an insatiable inner drive that pushes you far beyond limits and expectations–even your own!

You love living at a fast pace and often get frustrated with those who can’t keep up. If someone were to record your thoughts and words in a day, your most often-used phrase (mental or verbal) would be, “Hurry up.” You find it annoying when people suggest that you slow down. After all, what’s the point? When you do stop, your mind continues to race. You are bored with inactivity. Being a “non-busy person” sounds miserable to you.

People often ask you how you “do it all,” and you take great pride in this. You know you have a lot on your plate–maybe even too much–but you like it this way.

Mostly.

This constant high-paced, high-achievement life can be to your detriment. Your relationships may suffer. Your friends and family may wish you would slow down and spend some time with them. You may be missing some vital moments with your children. You probably don’t have much flexibility in your day, so you can’t be available if someone truly needs you at the last minute. You may not be getting enough sleep.

When you finally crash–and you will–you are as surprised as anyone to discover that you are not Wonder Woman. You may not be convinced that you’ll crash or that you’re not Wonder Woman, even now, as you read this description. You may not see a need to adjust anything in your schedule.

And of all the Busyness Personality types, you are the least likely to stop and take a quiz about personality types.

Next Step for The Achiever

You’re a tough one because you are least likely to believe you need to change. Do yourself just one small favor: Go to the person who loves you the most (your spouse, your child, your best friend) and ask them to give it to you straight. “Do you think I’m too busy?” Then listen to what that person says. Really listen. If they tell you they think you could benefit from some margin in your schedule or some “downtime,” then ask them for ideas as to what that might look like, in their opinion. You may be surprised by what you will glean from this simple conversation.
