Be the right kind of “busy”
“It’s not so much how busy you are, but why you are busy. The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted – Mary O’Connor”
Truer words have never been spoken. And I have taken them to heart. As I review my schedule (I have to check my Google Calendar regularly to ensure that I am not quadruple-booked), I realize that I am glad that I have focused on scheduling so much.
I schedule pretty much every single minute of my life. I block chunks of time to do the things I have to do, and that I am learning to say NO much more often. Yes, I still have that tendency to have my heart melted and agree to do 6 things because (a) they are charitable (b) they are for a non-profit (c) they are for artistic purposes, and the arts community here is so devalued (d) they are for my friends.
But I like being THAT kind of busy. The busy that brings me forward. Busy as a bee. Busy as a hummingbird.
