Stop Busy Bragging You Goof!

“I’m crazy busy!”

I heard this busy bragging phrase too many times when I was living and working in China.

People said it to affirm their work as valuable.

But those who used it the most were also the ones with the worst sales figures.

Which raises the question, were they “crazy busy” or just busy bragging?

Or maybe just crazy?

I don’t care about your busyness. And neither does anyone else.

Regardless of what the “lords of hustle” say, being busy is not a badge of honor that you should proudly pin to your chest.

No one is going to slap you on the back, shake your hand, and tell you “well done” because you’re spending too much time working and not enough time with your family, friends, and enjoying life.

I trust that COVID-19 has taught us that there are more important things in life than hustling to earn a living.

Life is more important. So go out today and enjoy it.

And if this post applies to you, it’s time to stop being a goof!
