I’ve had enough! I’m just WAY too busy!
Yep, sorry, I just don’t have the time! How many times have you said that to yourself, a colleague or a friend? I bet it's way more than you think it is. I’m an avid believer that no one on the planet should EVER be busy.
The notion of always being busy is so alien to me that it makes me mad, annoyed and sad to hear that people as always so busy that they don’t have time to do the things they love to do in their lives.

oh my god it's been so so busy I hope
you had a great weekend but my weekend
was insane and now I'm back on back
working on Monday my desk is filled up
with papers I can't think I've just had
enough I'm done I just need a holiday
now how many times have you said that to
yourself even this year now obviously
I'm not busy there was just me trying to
explain to you what I hear and what
you're probably saying to yourself I
hear it all the time I mean you hear it
when you walk down the street I walk my
dog wolf you see people on the street
how's it going I'm busy oh man I'm busy
why are you busy who's busy what are you
doing that's causing you to be busy
again
why are you busy busy has such a
negative connotation to I talked about
this with my coaching clients I said it
has such a negative connotation it's
unwarranted it's not needed it's you can
you can stop being busy it just
irritates the but Jesus out of me when I
hear people are being busy now if your
day is booked up that's completely
different I'm I'm booked that can't help
you I'm sorry not I'm busy I can't help
you you see the difference there so when
when I talk about tech minimalism and
how I'm helping people to reorganize and
do their thing
some of my clients they say I I can't I
can't deal with it right now I'm too
busy what seriously someone's trying to
help you to organize your busyness but
you're too busy to seek help what it
baffles me it completely and utterly
baffles me so what I want to talk about
this week I want to stay away from all
the Mac related stuff because again that
was
there's something I do I love doing but
I want to stay away from it and I want
to concentrate on tech minimalism in its
helping you how to organize to stop
being busy it irritates it honestly it
really takes me when I even hear it and
when I say it people should not be busy
people should be enjoying their lives
and if you're working so hard that
you're constantly busy there's obviously
something wrong
wouldn't you want to fix it now it's
actually an easy fix a comp I'm not
going to lie and say oh the there's a
massive saying that you have to do but
people because people don't like change
they kind of assume that that change is
going to disrupt them so much that they
can't get the work done that they have
on their plate so I'm busy I can't do it
I hear all the time so when clients come
in and I help them with their max stuff
with the Mac junky stuff the first thing
that they say is I need this by tomorrow
that's a topic for another video so I
get it fixed I get everything done once
it's fixed and they come and collect it
they have they have questions okay can
you do this can you do that can you do
that so they're a bit more relaxed
however they all have the same kind of
question how do you do that how can I do
this quicker how can I get rid of this
how can I make things faster when I'm
working with my clients so this kind of
stuff isn't hard it's just that you
haven't thought about it but because you
haven't thought about it and someone
from the outside is actually coming in
trying to explain this to you even
before you've heard it you've kind of
kind of dismissed it because you you're
too busy stop being busy and as I always
say keep it simple
stop being busy it'd be interesting to
know if what I want to know is how many
times you've actually said you're busy
this you
just this year it's February 24th it
hasn't even been two months how many
times have you said you're busy
- a friend - a colleague - your dog
walker whatever it is how many times and
be honest with yourself if it's more
than once it's wrong but that's the
that's the extreme if she said it you
know if you count it on the hand on your
hands if you said it dozen times can you
believe how a busy you actually are or
you're not busy you're trying to spark
up some sort of a conversation I mean
that I can understand but even that's
wrong even that is wrong you shouldn't
be busy no one on this planet should be
busy and it's my mission in life my
legacy to stop people from being busy
not to be lazy but stop being busy get
your [ __ ] done this stuff needs to be
done your work needs to be done I get it
but do it in such a way when you're not
constantly busy how many times have I
said busy in this video it's annoying
rain I hate the word anyway that's the
video today I hope you're having a great
Monday hope you had a great weekend

concentrating concentrating on tech
melanism if you're interested in that
kind of stuff let me know in the
