Busy vs Priorities

When we claim to be “too busy to fit that in”, it actually means we have higher priorities already scheduled in.

Rather than thinking or saying, “I’m too busy”, it’s more accurate to say or think, “I have other priorities taking precedence”. 

It may not feel like it, but we choose how we spend our time.  Choices have consequences, meaning other opportunities are missed.  Sometimes it means not going out with friends, not meeting a deadline, or not writing that novel.  It’s a choice to spend time on “X” instead of “Y”.

And that is okay.  Just own that choice.
