There are some weird thoughts that pop into your head as you are driving home late at night. One of those was to my good friend Shawn who started to remove the word ‘busy’ from his vocabulary. Busy, as it turns out, is a choice and not a state that people put you in. Sure, there are lots of demands in your life from your work, family, friends, health and such but you can choose what you say yes (and more importantly say no) to. That means that if you are busy, it means you have chosen to do more things than you can handle.
