In Bad Company inc shared a great link to an article by Tyler Wardis about being 'busy.'  I enjoyed both articles and actually started with In Bad Company first so it influenced how I read Tyler's article.  I realized that I agreed with most of Tyler's ideas.  I sometimes get busy when I am trying to avoid something I should do.  I know my kids loathed busy work at school.  I am not too fond of busy work myself.  I am learning that being involved with my work doesn't mean I am involved in 'busy' work.  I think my own definition of busy work is doing something that keeps me moving my arms and legs but no progress occurs.  Or I've had a project given to me at work that I spend hours on it only to find out that they had no intention of using what I did; it just kept me busy.  I am now engaged in some really interesting projects that I want to spend my time on.  I am coming off of a lovely restful vacation and do not want to get sucked back into useless busy work.  I am also looking at some of the jobs I do and why I do them.  It is 100% acceptable to do something to please my DH, because that is about building our relationship.  There are other things in my life that I am going to consider more carefully if it is worth spending my time.  I have no desire to waste my life on 'busy.'
