Too much time on their hands

Post: Several years ago I read a book by Harvey Mackay regarding running a business. He said that when you want to get something done, don't give it to someone who's not busy. If you give a project to someone who's already got work piled up, they'll find a way to get it done. This was such an intriguing idea to me because it seems to fly in the face of common sense. However, I've found it to be one of life's great truths; thank you Mr. Mackay. Whether it's my staff members, instructors, or students, there seems to be less focus when they have time to spare. Parents, don't be surprised during summer when your student gets less done than usual, they have too much time on their hands!
