This post really speaks to me. When has talking about how busy we are become so trendy? People meet and what they talk about is share details about just how busy they are. It's like trying to win the who's busier contest? But since when does who's busier translate to who's more worthy? Who's happier, or who's living a more fulfilling life?? As the article points out, it doesn't quite, but that's what we have come to.
We talk about our time and our busy lifestyle as if we are prisoners to it. But we forget that time is in our control, not vice versa. I have noticed that since I have started working and obviously have less time, it feels like I have more time! I get the feeling that the more I do, the more time I have. It's always the way you look at it. And you will always have time for what you want. You are the creator of your time-table, it doesn't force you to do anything you don't accept. And the excuse of not having enough time is in the end just an excuse, I firmly believe that we always have time for what we truly want.
Perhaps we can try to create a new trend, who has more time to relax? Who gets more time to sit still and enjoy their own company, or their loved ones company without doing anything special, or anything scheduled, or anything so called productive. Staying still is productive.
Hi Reka - I love this "Perhaps we can try to create a new trend, who has more time to relax?" I can just see all the strange looks I would get talking about how rested I was. :)
