Busy Is Lazy

Too many times, our busy-ness is really just laziness.  We keep ourselves busy with organizing our writing room, checking email, or checking out an artist’s new record.  And none of these are bad things- but neither are they usually the BEST thing.

Too many times, these activities are just a way to avoid the important things.  And why do we avoid the important things?  Usually, it’s because they’re difficult, unpleasant, or scary.

Staring at a blank page is hard.  Staring at a full email inbox is easy, and we fool ourselves into thinking we’re being productive.  But we aren’t.  We’re just scared and lazy.  Or sometimes it’s easier to work on a song than to make those uncertain phone calls that might land that big cowrite.

So put on your big-boy or big-girl pants and do what you know is the important thing- not the lazy thing.

God Bless,

Brent

Here’s a great book on trading busy for simple and effective.  I’ve read it multiple times, and I recommend it.
