An excerpt:
We have a problem—and the odd thing is we not only know about it, we’re celebrating it. Just today, someone boasted to me that she was so busy she’s averaged four hours of sleep a night for the last two weeks. She wasn’t complaining; she was proud of the fact. She is not alone.
Why are typically rational people so irrational in their behavior? The answer, I believe, is that we’re in the midst of a bubble; one so vast that to be alive today in the developed world is to be affected, or infected, by it. It’s the bubble of bubbles: it not only mirrors the previous bubbles (whether of the Tulip, Silicon Valley or Real Estate variety), it undergirds them all.
Here are the three words: “The Busyness Bubble.”
And a couple ways to avoid it:
1. Schedule a personal quarterly offsite.
2. Rest well to excel.
3. Add expiration dates on new activities.
4. Say no to a good opportunity every week.
