Ask someone around you how they are doing and they are likely to answer without a second thought “busy”. People oftentimes act like being “busy” is an accomplishment, when really it is not sustainable.
In my mind, being “busy” means being unorganized. When we are busy we are not present, you have to opt out of opportunities and you forget to invest in yourself.
When you are so “busy” everything seems like it needs to be done, and it does not. When you take a moment to identify what really needs to be done, and what can wait you can prioritize and allow yourself to do the things you really want to do.
The most successful people in the world take time to think, strategize and regroup. If we could all slow down and take a moment to be present and use a concentrated effort on one thing at a time we would experience deeper satisfaction.
