Being busy is not being honest



By PENELOPE TRUNK

"Let's abolish the word "busy."

We all have the same 24 hours to fill. Everyone's are filled with something.

There's a big difference between a busy day and a full day. The former is so frantic that you aren't effective.

1. Recognize that a frenetic life is a life half lived. You should aim for "Flow," (...) Flow is a unique state of mind where productivity and creativity are at their highest. (...) Flow generates the grand ideas, phenomenal work, and intense, rewarding experiences that people identify with happiness.

Flow occurs when you are fully present and engaged in what you are doing; the concept of time melts away in a commitment to the goal-oriented activity. This feeling requires being occupied and engaged for uninterrupted chunks of your day without ever thinking that you're rushed for time. People who are busy do not get this feeling."
