Are You There Time? It’s me, Busy.

A budding assumption of there not being enough time, that we are running out of time, and we are altogether too busy to, I suppose, enjoy life, has been taking over the airways in and out of my office. When asking friends, family, colleagues, and clients the (not so) simple question of “How are you?” I am often responded with some variation of “Good. Busy, but good”. Busyness has somehow created an enemy of time and an all-encompassing notion that when it come to busy and time, you can only have one.

Trust me when I say I believe you that busyness sometimes drives you a little crazy. What I don’t believe is that time is the enemy. No matter what crazy, annoying, frustrating, or happy event life throws at us, we persevere. If we have two months to do something, or if we have two days, the due date is often met because we have found the time to get it done. If our car breaks down, or it is due for an oil change, the time is found. Time is found because the consequences would make our lives even more hectic; poor grades at school, loss of employment, etc. Alas, time is here for us, time can be our friend, if we let it.
