Don’t get so busy being busy

In the working world, there are 3 different types of ‘’busy’’ people:

1.      People who are genuinely busy (these are the ones who typically never say they are busy)

2.      People who make themselves busy by turning simple tasks into complicated or deals

3.      People who are busy looking busy but in reality have nothing to do

Busyness is the disease of our modern world.  Our busyness is as Shakespeare said, “much ado about nothing much of the time.  We are only busy acting busy.

After a while, busyness became a way of life, and a state of mind.  The hardest thing to do is to do nothing.  Our busyness all boils down to time.  We live in consultant fear of not being able to do all that we aspire to do during our time here on this planet.

Please remember what John Lennon said,

“Life’s what happens when we are busy making other plans.”

There is always more time to achieve your goals, so don’t get so busy being busy that you forget to actually live.

William Citrin
