Being BUSY - a fact?...think again!

Too busy to talk...Too busy to walk...Too busy to eat...Too busy to snooze...

Sound like pretty familiar responses?
WATCH OUT...coz soon enough you might be Too BUSY to breathe

When people ask how you are, "I'm gud" and "I'm fine" have been replaced with "Too busy" ?
Then you ought to realize that Busy-ness is a state of mind not a fact. Today people distinguish the two states of being busy or being free by the amount of things they got before them. But you can have an endless to-do list and yet be free coz as against the popular demand, our brain can in no way multitask. No matter how many ever things you gotto do, the human brain processes things and performs tasks only one after the other as a lot of tasks involve the usage of the same portion of the brain.No matter how much or how little we are doing, we're only doing one thing : living the present one moment.

But in today's mechanized and tech-driven world being busy very wrongly sends out of a signal of being powerful or effective or tends to have a good impact. But there's no reason to fret with never ending agreements and pointless goals. Because life's like a prepaid mobile with limited talk'time' ; you never know when you might run out of talk'time'. So it makes sense to use every minute wisely. 

And what's time by the way?
Ever observed that a boring one-hour class seems longer when compared to a one-hour of time spent with friends? This alone is enough to stand as a matter of testimony that Time is how we live it, not what's measured by the clock. 

But the clock, which was invented by man, was supposed to be working for us not the other way round. If we feel too busy we have mistaken a feeling for an objective reality and are held captive to it.In the end, if you still persistently and unpleasantly feel too busy, then remember that it is a matter of choice after all : whether to be or not to be busy.
