A Brilliant Gamble

Episode 60: Does Busy = Success?

Episode Summary

I've noticed that when someone asks how you are, the answer is often "Busy" or some related variant. When did being busy become the right answer to that question? We live at a time when work dominates life - it defines who we are, our worth, what we think about, what we think matters. And we are all so busy that, even if we enjoy what we do or think it is important, we often make massive sacrifices in order to do that work. In this week's show I look at what you can do to cut back on the busy, including what you'll need to let go of in order to do so without guilt. I'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions too!

And please remember to share this podcast and leave us a comment and star rating on iTunes! It's much appreciated. Blaire
