Busy! Busy! Busy!

I’ve been meeting with clients and friends who are all ramping up their activity level prior to the holidays, and already feeling overwhelmed. Almost everyone I know, including myself, complains (and boasts) about being SO busy under ordinary ever day circumstances, so it gets hugely amplified at this time of year. I could go into psychological insights about why we’re so chronically over scheduled, but I thought these quotes I found might resonate better with everyone out there who fills every minute with busyness, then feels depleted. (I’ll sign off while you’re reading – gotta go do more stuff!)

Sleep tight,

Busyness Quotes


The time to relax is — when you don’t have time for it.
– Sydney J. Harris

________________________________________________________________________

It is not enough to be busy; so are the ants. The question is: what are we busy about?
– Henry David Thoreau

_________________________________________________________________________________

My candle burns at both its ends; It will not last the night; But oh, my foes, and oh, my friends — It gives a lovely light.
– Edna St. Vincent Millay

________________________________________________________________________

The world is moving so fast these days that the one who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.
-Harry Emerson Fosdick

________________________________________________________________________________

The feeling of being hurried is not usually the result of living a full life and having no time. It is on the contrary born of a vague fear that we are wasting our life. When we do not do the one thing we ought to do, we have no time for anything else- we are the busiest people in the world.
– Eric Hoffer

________________________________________________________________________

At work, you think of the children you have left at home. At home, you think of the work you’ve left unfinished. Such a struggle is unleashed within yourself. Your heart is rent.
– Golda Meir

________________________________________________________________________________

He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
Robindranith Tagore

_______________________________________________________________________________

When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another – and ourselves.
Jack Kornfield
