Those who say they have nothing to do are liars.
Every day there is a constant stream of to-do’s, of tasks, of obligations. Keeping busy is the easiest thing in the world. Our inbox’s are filling as I type this. We’ve got more notifications and distractions than ever before. Oh, did your phone just vibrate too?
Plain and simple, we’re damn busy. Of course, “busy” is commonly misinterpreted.
This intake of lights, noises, beeps, buzzers, reminders, flags, dings, ticks, and notification symbols is a great way to trick us into thinking that responding to them is a form of output. That being busy is the same as producing something that matters.
Let’s remember that not all things that come in are worth taking in. Let’s not confuse busy with meaningful. Let’s make sure not to devote too much time to intake when what matters is output.
Hey, intake will be there whether you are too, or not.
Output, on the other hand, only shows up when you do.
Stay Positive & Go Do Something (that matters more than responding to that txt)
