How to stop being so busy and get more done
It’s the response Darius Foroux always got whenever he asked coworkers how they were doing.
The Dutch businessman and blogger said the word “busy” first began to puzzle him when he briefly worked for an IT research company in London.
“I thought to myself, ‘That’s not the answer to my question,’” Foroux told NBC News BETTER.
Foroux said he began to realize that a lot of people equate busyness with success. But he came to believe that busy people aren’t necessarily happy.
The 30-year-old made a decision: he would quit being busy for the sake of being busy. He stopped filling his calendar with meaningless to-do’s, going to social gatherings out of obligation, and saying ‘yes’ to things that didn’t appeal to him.
