Re:The Seven Levels of Busy by thenerdhead on Thursday November 17, 2022 @05:40PM (#33646971)
Thanks for the candor comment. Here's how I think about it:

I'm arguing for the individual to buy into a new philosophy. One of not being busy. Modern busyness is a construct we accept out of fear. Fear of getting fired, fear of missing out, fear of being passed over for a promotion.

Most of the things we think we need to do, we don't need to do at all. Constant context switching and divided focus is not a thing humans do well at. I think we've misunderstood the power of mono-tasking.

There's a great paradox in it all. The less busy we are, the more we can accomplish. Maybe others have noticed similar phenomena.
