HOW DID YOU KNOW??!!!!!!
We are all over worked until we all chill out and this is on a whole
We want more so we work more… maybe if we have less wants – we won’t work as much cause at the end of the day. Maybe we work so much cause we want it to be easier for our kids but what are we setting them up for?? 🙂
Do or do not there is no try yoda 🙂 gotta find a balance
noice talk
short and to the point!
we are always in hurry… still never on time 😐
Most important: Long-term strategic thinking
3 main reasons:
1. status
2. uncertainty
3. numbing
suggestion/solution: create a space to think about how we want to live
I face a big problem with English as my mother tongue is arabic and I try to learn English by myself …. I advise you to learn arabic really It's amazing and has emotions
Very nice
“I’m so busy I can’t implement this advice”
this dude speaks a lot of sense
Well Said ???
i took this speech personally
Grasshopper Less is More. When you give up what you want, you will have what you need. Prosperity comes with value so even if you was a survivalist you going to be busy just trying to survive. In Modern Life we are always busy because we are always exchanging our time for a Time document called money so that we can live the most out of our life. As long as you need money you will always be busy. And even if you have a lot of money you will be busy spending it. This presentation is not relevant to the human Condition that we are currently in
Thank you for wasting 8 min of my time. You stated the obvious and nothing more.
Very interesting topic and even more interesting explanation, just by reading the title I'm very interested to watch the video until it's finished, you are well dressed and very expressive making the audience feel comfortable. I was excited to get new information, that busyness had a number of reasons behind it, and on second thought it turned out to be true I did. Choice is indeed something difficult, we must be prepared to take risks to make choices, but it seems that it is indeed better than being stuck in uncertainty. We also have to value ourselves and our time more.
Woww this is interesting! I think this video is related to another Ted Talk video which talk about how to control your free time. Our busyness and free time are two things that we both determine. We making choices that put ourselves in the position where we're busy and make time for our free time. Time is a choice, we better make time for something we'll do than make more time or find another time (postponed it) because time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it.
And by the way I chose this video because I feel I'm a busy person, whether it's because of assignments or organizational problems, so I think this video is suitable for me, and maybe for you guys. This video talks about three hidden reasons people fall into the endless loop of feeling constantly busy, and invites you to question what really motivates how you spend your time. Most of us are often stuck in a busy state, and it turns out that the first reason we feel busy is status. We feel busy because of our status, whether we realize it or not, when we say "Oh I'm very busy", what we really want to say is "Oh I am in an important position, I am very important". Second, uncertainty, when we are faced with uncertain challenges, such as “you have to get to 90”, the many ways to achieve that goal confuses us and puts us in obscurity. Third, numbness, we use busyness to turn ourselves off. I totally agree with what this video says, that being busy can feel lonely, frustrating, and like having a life that we don't have full control over. And the way to beat busyness forever, is that we have to be honest about what motivates us to make choices, we have to create space to breathe, and space to think. And choose who we want to spend our time with. Finally, hopefully we are not all busy people who are full of pressure.
I was searching for some video to show my students and found this.
Honestly, I've realized that the real reason of my busyness is the desire to numb myself down.
I'm from Ukraine and I'm full of uncertainty about my future and fear for safety of my family. That's the real reason why few months ago I decided to find second job and escape from this endless circle of concerns.
Of course, I persuaded myself that I've done that to improve my skills and archive success but It's a complete lie.
Thank you for your work.
After I watched this video, I came to understand what really happened in life before it was "busy". It can be said based on this video that the real reason there are not 3 things is status, obscurity, and numbness. Status makes a person feel busy, he thinks that he has an important role in something so he continues to focus on that thing. then obscurity, we often want to pursue something unclear doing everything possible to achieve it but we are not on the way to achieving that goal. the last one is numbing busyness into our stress, frustration, other uncontrollable feelings. In fact, the one who controls us is ourselves, we must have priorities in order to achieve what we want. Our busyness and free time are two things that we both determine. We make choices that put ourselves in a position where we are busy and make time for our free time. To decide the real reason being busy is that we have to be honest about what motivates us to make choices, we have to create space to breathe, and space to think. And choose with whom we want time time.
