Hey Jordan Gross! I love this concept of asking your contributors questions.

I think there are two places to look if someone feels that they are too busy. Well, three, really.

First, it could be a planning issue. I know that a lot of people struggle with time management. So, it could be that they need to implement a system of time management in order to be more productive with their day.

Second — and this is my issue — is mindset. Are you using “busy” because you are scared to try? Does a task seem enormous because you are spending all of your time managing your mind and worrying about what people will think if you try it?

Finally, it is also possible that you have too many goals and need to prioritize them. I think this is less common but could certainly create more “busy” and less “productive.”

Thanks for the response!
