In Western Society we take too much pride in being "busy." We associate a busy person as a productive person, and a productive person as a successful person. To the point where if a person is comfortable living a lifestyle to where they have more time to sit around doing nothing we label them as a "bum" or "unproductive." While that can be the case in some cases, we should actually all be striving to live a more simpler life where we can afford to sit around and do nothing a lot more than we do.
Being busy and productive doesn't necessarily equate to efficiency. You can WORK and be PRODUCTIVE 8 hours out the day and actually get little to nothing done. I can concentrate and zero in on a task for 1 hour and be more efficient than you were in 8 hours.
We glorify the wrong type of living in western society. I am striving to have more "free time.' Time where I can sit and do absolutely nothing...Just be present in the moment and enjoy and embrace life.
