“Overwhelming ! People think about jumping off bridges . . . when they see what I have on my plate . . . and thats just before lunch”
“Burnout is not just about being too busy or feeling overwhelmed…It's feeling like your work has no purpose and you don't have support.”
“I think we all suffer from the societal pressure to always be occupied. Busy is worn as a badge of honor these days, the busier we are, the more important we feel. But busy doesn't mean important, busy just means you are preoccupied and often means you are distracted. It doesn't mean you are esteemed, fun, smart, worthy, valued, loved, appreciated, excited, or happy. Busy means you are not paying attention to the current moment, but instead are hustling around in a fog of things you have to do.
Busy isn't special, we are all busy.”

“Being busy is not an excuse for being rude. Circumstances don't change you, it just reflects your inner self.”
“The enemy loves my busyness because he knows what "busy" really means: "Being Under Satan's Yoke." It's not a glamorous distraction, but it's highly effective in removing me from the front lines of spiritual warfare.”
