Why I’m never busy

  • last month
I talk about the importance of never being 'busy'. There are things that you need to do, and you're occupied in doing something, but using the word 'busy' and being busy all the time is never a good thing, especially when it comes to Tech Minimalism and your focus on everything that encompasses that.

00:00I talk about the importance of never being busy.
00:04There are things that you need to do and you're occupied in doing something but using the word busy and being busy all the time is never a good thing, especially when it comes to tech minimalism and your focus and everything that encompasses that.
00:21There was a article.
00:22I think it was on Monday that I saw by a guy called Tim Denning.
00:28I will link it down below and he was talking about how some executives misunderstand being busy and how they keep doing back-to-back meetings, which is what I spoke about earlier this week.
00:46And somehow that's making them more important being busy doesn't actually mean you're getting anything done.
00:55In fact, it's the absolute opposite that that I find if you're constantly busy and I know someone and she'll be watching this.
01:04I'm sure she's always always looking for the next thing.
01:08You're always looking for being busy making being busy and in making you look more important than you are.
01:18That sounds weird, but that's the only thing I can think of and when I saw this article about how people brag about being busy, it just seems so ridiculous to me now.
01:33Why am I never busy and why do I tell people you give me the time to me because there's hardly anything in my calendar the things that are in my calendar and saying the important obviously things that are in my to-do list are crazy important, but I set time aside to actually get those things done.
01:54So if you don't have that system to be able to have focus on the thing that you want to do, you'll never get anything done.
02:02You're constantly busy and busyness isn't something to be proud of being productive and having things to do a different to being busy and I would try to throw busyness out of your ecosystem.
02:22The way you work anyway, have a great day and I'll see you in the next one.
