When busyness is worn as a badge of honor, biting off more than we can chew becomes habitual. The possibility of chocking out on our (over) commitments increases proportionately as we rush on the treadmill and convince ourselves we are making headway. Slowing down is seldom considered a solution, so we run faster and tell ourselves we are running better as we close our eyes to the treadmill beneath us.
In a society where overload seems common place, concerns about laziness may seem misplaced. We wear busyness as a badge of honor and chronic exhaustion appears epidemic. We talk and dream of projects we would like to see completed and chores that need to be done “if we only had time.” Truth is no one gets any more hours in a day than anyone else. Like money, it’s not how much we have, but how we spend it.
