it's a curious thing, and this is just something that i'm noticing, not necessarily complaining about. everyone is telling me how 'busy' they are. i'm not quite sure why this is popping up right now - tax time? spring fever? summer looming? who knows. what i do know is that each time i speak with someone, they are professing their 'busy-ness'.
it is kind of funny, because the people that i think are REALLY busy never seem to articulate the fact that they are juggling a million things at the same time. they just do it (hey, maybe nike is onto something after all!). we all know the old adage: have something that needs to get done? give it to a busy person!
and i believe it's fair to say that virtually everyone IS busy! really busy! work, family, life, friends - there are never enough hours in the day. so by stating the obvious, one is actually using up precious time whilst being redundant ... hmmm. and it does sometimes smack of self-righteousness. and jane is working full time while going through chemo. so i guess it's a bit difficult for me to wrap my head around this whole 'extra busy' thing.
so what's the key to keeping it all flowing? multi-tasking of course! shifting gears quickly! completing tasks! delegating! making lists! or, ehhhh, perhaps none of the above. i certainly haven't figured it out, but i do know one thing - a glass of wine in the evening sure takes the edge off!
jane is coming along, feeling well but sleepy, so it's an early night for all - no matter how busy we are!
