The importance of not being busy
If you’re always working and being ‘busy’ then you have no right to complain when others are too busy for you. Stop being ‘busy’ and start enjoying and doing things for yourself.

so hi today's video is the importance of
not being busy and what do I mean by
that I hear so many times where people
are just constantly saying that they're
busy clients friends and so on and the
thing happened to me recently and I know
she's watching this my best friend I
died I need to talk to her about
something and she's always always
constantly busy now she's told me in the
past how busy she is with her work and
stuff and I understand it but it annoyed
me I needed to speak with her about
something personal and she was busy now
the the reason why I'm saying the
importance is not being busy is that
your life should have nothing in it
other than work and things that you need
to do not the other way around does that
make sense
you're not working constantly constantly
working and being distracted with the
work and everything to not have time for
yourself right so the importance of not
being busy is basically about having
your own time because people around you
will get annoyed so think about that
when you are working with your clients
if you're constantly busy and they're
asking for help whether it's a new
client or a project that you're working
on and you can't get back to them that's
annoying it would annoy you right so the
importance of not being busy is
basically just enjoy your life and make
work a secondary thing in your life not
the primary thing in your life
it was Wolf's birthday today he is eight
years old
I put a picture up here we went to the
park it was a great day so I wasn't busy
I had time to go to the park with my
trusty dog wolf and I'm not busy you
know you need to relax and you need to
give yourself time to do things that you
enjoy doing so I'll leave you I'll leave
you with that
the importance of not being busy is a
huge thing for me it is immensely
empowering actually to be able to say no
I mean that's that's kind of the next
video I guess to say no and held yes who
who was that who did the held yes thing
I can't remember I'll try to figure out
and I put it in the notes but anyway
