Reasons for Busyness
People like to be busy, they're happier. A lot of it is self-imposed, otherwise without a justification for an activity, we'd choose idleness to activeness.
We feel too busy, some of it is unnecessary, why?
- Signaling : Showing that busy people are important. "I'm so busy always"
- Commitment Dodging : A socially acceptable way to decline social obligations. "I wish I could, but I'm so busy"
- Self Deception : Assuming no outstanding tasks in life is ideal, that's the goal.

Finding the Busyness Sweet Spot
Most people, have a scale from utterly bored to burned out, with the ideal level of busyness lying somewhere in between.
Some of us are happy when we're closer to "relaxed", others need more activity.
The shift can be thought from the busyness-happiness calculation: First, what your ideal set point is, and second, whether your current situation is above or below this optimal set point.

What Are The Good Reasons To Be Busy?
Even when we want to be busy, it's not just to do things, we need a reason. That compelling reason makes the difference, it can lead to either overcommitment or inactivity.
Goal-setting and planning are vital because they’re the tools we use to find motivating activities. Making concrete improvements to your life may be secondary to the well-being boost of having a reason to be optimally busy.

Do You Really Have Too Little Time?
Out of 24 hours, we all have the same amount of time each day but use it differently. If you feel you lack time, check for conflicts between your priorities.
Intrinsic enjoyment from an activity is essential when you're busy. This ensures your psychological needs are met in the little time.
If you intend to work full-time, stay in shape, spend quality time with your kids, and keep up with friends and hobbies, you may find there’s not enough time to do all of those to your desired standard. The result is frustration due to expectations.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
