Busy
I do not know for sure if this actually came from Eugene Peterson or not. But this Twitter account claims it as his.
No matter where you stand on pace, speed, and to do lists. I think the illusion of busyness is a symptom of a disease. For me, the disease is a lack of self control. When I am, “too busy.” I am actually saying my schedule owns me and I am taking the time to organize and prioritize my tasks. I am letting my time be ruled by external unimportant to do lists and tasks rather than my priorities.
I always have time for my priorities. It is the moment when I let non-priorities take over when I am sick with busyness.
What does busyness look like for you? What does it mean when you are too busy? What are your priorities?
Prioritizing,
