Episode 3733: Marc Chernoff challenges the idea that constant busyness is a badge of honor, showing how our overstuffed schedules and need to appear productive only make life harder and unhappier. By slowing down, letting go of needless busyness, and creating space to breathe, we can finally pause long enough to notice the beauty and meaning we’ve been rushing past. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.marcandangel.com/2023/04/25/your-life-is-harder-and-busier-than-it-has-to-be/ Quotes to ponder: "Busyness is just an illness that makes everything harder than it has to be." "Nearly all of my busyness was an overreaction in my head." "We fill our Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat feeds, and our calendars, with manufactured busyness to avoid just being exactly who we are, exactly where we are." Learn more about your ad choices.
