“I read these biographies all the time about these successful people and one of the patterns that I've discovered, and what I've discovered in myself and all of my friends who have become very successful, has been the fact that they say "Yes" to a lot of commitments.

If you just have this one goal, then that one thing may get shoved under the rug and procrastinated on. But if you say yes to a lot of things; if you almost overcommit, then you probably won't get all of the things you've committed to complete. But you'll get a good portion of them. The 80% that you DO get done will still be more than that one person who said no to a lot of things. The busiest people get the most things done.”

“Sometimes we get so busy with our daily lives we do not take the steps and time necessary to be introspective.”

“Some people never stop working, especially the demanding type of person whom the world never seems to touch, the indomitable person whom is determined to make the world their own place.”

“We must be too busy—to get ugly.”

“Then, taking his hat and shoving it onto his head, he would rush out into the mass of busy people and all at once look nothing at all like Father anymore: in fact, if it were not for the particular way his hat had been squished ever since one of her wooden animals sat on it, Shelley would hardly have been able to tell his brown-coated figure from anyone else’s.”
― Sara Barkat, The Shivering Ground & Other Stories

“Homo Defessus â€� Never before in human history has so many people considered their everyday tiredness (because they are so busy and have so much to do) as a badge of honor. We are living in the era of Homo Defessus, the exhausted man. I wonder if the historians of the distant future (if there will be any) will look back to our epoch and decide to give it a name: “The Dark Agesâ€�, because for the first time humans, not only deliberately sought exhaustion, but they were also convinced that this mentality is their pride, an indisputable token of greatness.”

“If you are too busy to care,
You are not busy, you're dead.”

“Busy people are usually enterprising, creative, and happy. Conversely, people who disengaged from life are usually sad, depressed, and lethargic.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Those who don't overcommit, who undercommit, who just focus on one or two things, those one or two things become magnified so they become these big heavy, pressure-filled things. And those conditions can lead to procrastination. Overcommitting takes the pressure off those one or two things because now the pressure is on doing ALL the things. A counterintuitive hack there.”
― David Tian Ph.D

“Some people are too busy to find ways to save time.”
