20 | The Myth of Busyness

The word "busy" is overused. It is often used as a blanket catchall phrase or a marker of success or martyrdom. I think a more accurate term is being over-committed. It's when you have to be in multiple places at once. It's when you have numerous projects requiring your attention or when your brain jumps from tasks to logistics to problem-solving. Busyness is life without sufficient and restorative physical and mental breaks. 

A common misconception is that you can master busyness with organization.Yet, everything you do is a choice. Busyness happens when you're telling yourself you have enough time for it all rather than thinking deeply about what tasks are essential and non-negotiable.

One solution to busyness is prioritizing. It helps to cut down on the mental clutter. It's about recognizing that you can control where you need to be and what you're focused on at any moment. Practice redirecting your focus to the set of tasks that are absolute priorities in our overstimulated, highly distracted world.
