How to be better, not busier
Cluttering up our lives with ‘action’ hinders accomplishment and exhausts us in the process. Here’s how to work differently
Listen to the conversations around you and you’ll notice it often goes something like this:
“How are you?”
“Good, thanks. Busy. You?”
“Yeah – mad busy. Although it’s good to be busy.”

Action, ‘doing’, gives us an adrenaline rush. It feeds our ego and makes us feel important. We also get used to it and it becomes the norm. We get “velocitised”.
