Keeping Busy

Our time is such a valuable commodity, and it seems that during the holidays our time is stretched out of our control.

Happy Holidays!

Now that Thanksgiving has passed by, and the leftovers are packed up in the fridge, the 2017 Holiday Season is officially underway! I would first like to use this space to wish all of our readers a very happy holiday season, and a healthy and prosperous New Year. We hope that 2018 turns out to be a fantastic year for you, and that you achieve great happiness and fulfillment in the New Year.

Everyone knows that the holiday season is the “busiest” time of the year. Just ask any friend, colleague or relative how they are feeling during the holidays and you are likely to hear some version of the complaint that the holiday season is just so busy, there is hardly time to come up for air. Our time is such a valuable commodity, and it seems that during the holidays our time is stretched out of our control.

In his quote above, Bill Bachrach strikes at the heart of one of the most significant truths about the value of time. Time is truly the most valuable and limited resource we all possess on earth, and we all have a choice about how we will spend the time we are allotted. If we choose wisely, we will be rewarded with a happy and fulfilling life, but if we waste this resource, we will miss an enormous opportunity to live well.

The Banishment of “Busy”

Because time is such an important and limited resource, we are wise to protect our time, and to pay close attention to how we handle it. For our submission this week, we are going back into the Concentus archives to resurrect and share an article we found valuable, about how we often risk abusing our time by being too “Busy” all the time…

Busy isn’t respectable anymore

We hope that this insightful article will help you to better understand how “busy” can be an enemy of a high quality life, and that you may be inspired to banish “Busyness” from your life this holiday season!
