Busy-ness

When lots of things happen in your life, you get busy.

Obvious, really.

But it's something we often forget: That when things happen, you get busy. And that often means not taking time for yourself. And when you don't take time for yourself, your busy-ness increases.

Why? Because, in not taking time for yourself, your mind gets cluttered and you don't think straight. You rush things with a cluttered mind. It's like walking in a busy street. When you take your time, you don't bump into anyone. But when you're rushing, you seem to collide with everyone and everything; and your journey takes, or appears to take, longer.

So slow down. Take some time for yourself. De-clutter your mind and you'll be a lot more productive.
