” Being busy is a form of laziness – lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.”
“Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective – doing less – is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.”
– Timothy Ferriss
Although I don’t tend to agree about this in the short term. I can agree with the fact this holds true for long term. If one is constantly busy, it just can’t be productive. Especially the feeling of being overwhelmed, I definitely feel like that kills my productivity and especially kills my creativity.
