Everyone is busy nowadays. Most of the people do tasks, go to meetings, write messages the whole day. They are so engaged in these activities that they forget about the most important of them: thinking.
These people don't have the space to stop and think. They also don't have the space to let the diffused mind do the work and therefore suffer in terms of creativity. They are constantly in the high-arousal, focused mode that prevents them from seeing the big picture. They are like a mouse in a spinning wheel chasing cheese.
That said if you loosen up your schedule of work and allow for a couple of hours reserved for thinking you will most of those around you because you will be one of the few that can use rational and objective judgment.
You will be able to use this time to get creative ideas, do analyses and evaluations, and to just work smarter by for example tinkering how to outsource certain tasks that others do better and that in turn give you more free time. It's a virtuous cycle.
Also, it will give you time to educate yourself about things your contemporaries are blind to because are so sucked into running on the wheel.
Develop this better.
You jump in front of others because you do what the minority does but what is crucial—you actually think. You see more. While others see only the trees, you see the forest. Therefore, you can make better decisions.
You need to come closer to the trees once in a while. Either directly, by doing focused work or indirectly by having others do that work and report to you.
