Are we too busy?
My life always seems so hectic.
My email inbox always seems full. Like everyone, I have a lot of responsibilities and never seem to have enough time.
I cannot find the time to read books, write blog posts, or take as many photographs as I hoped, let alone get work done through my to-do list.
Or is that what I tell myself?
We live in a time where every single second is monitored, recorded, and accounted for.
But does living your life in a never ending schedule through to-do lists really make you any happier?
Often the reason we feel so busy is that we’ve lost sight of what really matters to us, which often at the bottom of our priority list.
from a book ‘Hashtag Authentic, p.19’
Instead of finding time to pursue our interests or joy, which is critical to a more meaningful life, we end up rushing through the day without accomplishing what really matters most.
Perhaps that is why I have been feeling somewhat ‘lost’ as I haven’t been doing more of what makes me happy?
I came to realise that being busy is just another lie we constantly tell ourselves.
Our priorities are mostly to blame. That’s all.
