Thanks for the candor comment. Here's how I think about it:
I'm arguing for the individual to buy into a new philosophy. One of not being busy. Modern busyness is a construct we accept out of fear. Fear of getting fired, fear of missing out, fear of being passed over for a promotion.
Most of the things we think we need to do, we don't need to do at all. Constant context switching and divided focus is not a thing humans do well at. I think we've misunderstood the power of mono-tasking.
There's a great paradox in it all. The less busy we are, the more we can accomplish. Maybe others have noticed similar phenomena.
