For many of us, there's actually a pretty strong correlation between how busy we are and how important we feel.
-- Laura Vanderkam
And every once in a while we run into the reality of this...usually through our anger. How do we forget things like beginning-with-the-end-in-mind so easily?
There is something at work in our busy-ness that we often do not readily recognize, because it gives us a false sense of self, of who we are. We transplant our identity from our being to our doing. And, sometimes we polish our self-importance by fostering a deep sense that we are needed in so many ways (therefore, we have to stay really busy).
If you're not convinced, take away things that keep you busy and watch what happens to how you feel about yourself.
