Think and Grow Rich test: Do you avoid your troubles by being busy?

My answers to the Think and Grow Rich Self-Assessment Test

Recently, I was reminded of the self-assessment test in Napoleon Hill’s best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich.

There are fifty-four questions in that test, and I’m going to be giving my answers and thoughts on one or two of them as close to daily as I can manage. I may miss a day here or there, but I’m going to follow through until I reach the end of the test.

I’ve started the series of posts with:

Think and Grow Rich self-assessment test

Question Number 17. Do you avoid your troubles by being busy?

This is another question I can answer easily and definitively.

No, I don’t.

On the other hand, sometimes I avoid my troubles by not thinking about them, but that doesn’t equate to avoiding them by being busy.

Perhaps denial comes in many forms.

To get a little closer to what I think the question means, however, I avoid my troubles in several other ways. I’m sure we all do.

Even though I put them off for awhile, at some point they just have to be addressed, put on the to-do list, and eventually checked off as done. I don’t really know any other way to deal with them.

What about you?

Do you avoid your troubles by being busy?

All the best,

JD

    2. Hi John,

    On this one, I’d have to say no for the most part. I follow it up by saying that every once in awhile I find myself doing busy work, stuff that needs to get done, but stuff that I could still possibly hold off because I have other pressing work to get to instead. But I don’t do it all that often anymore.
