Busy Quotes

Keeping busy is a true medicine for most of your unnecessary worries and anxieties. People who are generally busy with their work or past-time have no time to worry about mundane things and hence, stay healthier than the rest. Not to mention, when you stay busy, success looks directly at you and comes to you before it approaches anyone else. The fact that you can have more leisure when you are keeping yourself busier in work is a quite a comic paradox. Busyness of a person cannot be always justified as his/her focus towards work. It could be a person who is a people pleaser and loads up himself just to impress his superiors, and ends up in not delivering the quality justifying his potential.

There is a notion that if you are not super busy, you aren’t important or hard working. When we think of a super busy person, it’s like people with a ringing phone, outpouring mail boxes, and a hectic schedule. This type of life leads to multi-tasking and interruptions, which are chronic for productivity. Busyness reduces productivity, as there is a sword hanging up your head which prevents you from concentrating on multiple things at once. The fact is there is a thin line between being focused and busy which needs to be understood.

Naples is curiously chaotic and, if I'm honest, a bit dilapidated. It certainly has a 'lived-in' look. It's alive, it's vibrant, it's a little bit dirty, it's busy, and I loved it.
