Deep dives

The Problem with Busyness

Being busy has become an ingrained norm in many people's lives, yet it rarely leads to true productivity or satisfaction. Individuals often operate under the illusion that constant activity equates to success, but this can result in exhaustion and chaos rather than fulfillment. The desire for calmness and confidence is universal, and chasing busyness leads to burnout, while a more purposeful approach promotes effective goal achievement. Recognizing that busyness is not the desired end-state allows for the opportunity to pivot towards a more meaningful engagement with daily activities.
