Lately I've been consciously trying to avoid saying I'm busy. As a society, there seems to be some sort of competition to be the busiest, and I don't want to buy into that anymore.
Yes - I have things I need to do most days.
Yes - some days I have a LOT to get through.
Yes - some days I have so much to do that it seems impossible to meet deadlines and panic starts to set in.
BUT ... it is rare that something is so urgent that the world will come to a grinding halt if it's not done immediately, and it is ok to take some time for myself in the middle of it all to centre myself and stop the panic in it its tracks.
I've realised I use being busy as a cover for avoiding important things - busy and important don't always go together! I'm starting to weed out the time-wasting activities, and focusing on what's really important to me. Time to stop making excuses for not doing the things I've dreamed about because I'm 'too busy'. Time to get on with the good stuff :)
