– Sydney J. Harris (1917-1986), American journalist
Say, WHAT?
You’re thinking, “But I’m too busy to…”
Busy-ness is the bane of business. Busy-ness is the productivity sponge — it sucks all the productivity out of your life. Busy-ness can be an addiction, and step #1 of the 12-step busy-ness addicts recovery program is: “Don’t wear your busy-ness as a badge of honor.”
(Editor’s Note: Today’s post, based on my performance of late, falls in the “do as I say, not as I do” category, which makes it particularly timely, even if my only goal is to make a difference for, oh, I don’t know, let’s say……me!)
The three page to-do list, the back-to-back-to-back-to-back calendar. The missed social events and sunsets / sunrises.
