You meet your school friend after a good 5-10 years and ask the reason of not keeping in touch with you and he/she replies, "I was keeping busy with my life"! You are in urgent need of sharing your happiness or sorrow with your boyfriend/girlfriend and ends up making a call to him/her, only to see it getting rejected and later you receive a text indicating that he/she was too busy to take your call! You follow a client for a month or so and he always says, "he's busy!" You make a weekend plan with your friends and you realize on Friday that none of your friends pick the call and everybody reverts with a text saying, "I am keeping busy this weekend"!
These are the common circumstances which we come across everyday but the question is, Do people really keep so busy that they don't find time for the person who genuinely remembers them? I am not debating for the fact that keeping busy is always a reason to avoid somebody but what irritates is that those people pretend to be so when they are actually not so occupied! Why does the sentence "I am busy" comes in existence only when someone genuinely wants to speak? Why doesn't this sentence come from our parents? If they are really so busy then why do we see their regular updates on Social media with some or the other thing!!!
Perhaps, the reason is simple! Our parents are never so busy that they don't find time for us. In fact, we are the utmost priority for them. So, why cant we be like them!! On the other hand, the people who always utilize "I am busy" as an excuse to avoid somebody, are the same people who are utter failure in time management at their respective organisations. In our respective lives, we have all got 24 hours each and these 24 hours are sufficient to assign equal time to all your works. Speaking to your friend, girlfriend or boyfriend or client or vendor, is the most constructive way to utilize your free time which otherwise would have got wasted in playing Facebook games or gossiping with your colleagues!
Apparently, no one keeps so busy in their work that they cannot respond to somebody's mails, calls or texts! It's just the matter of "prioritizing" which we do not find in the case of this particular lot of people who likes to pretend they are busy!
Having not been able to give time to everything in your life, only indicates that you are poor at "Time management" which subsequently indicates that you are poor in any management of your professional as well as personal life!!
Next time you plan to say somebody that you are busy! think, ponder and contemplate whether the work which you are doing really holds so much of importance that you ignore your loved ones at the cost of saving your "busy bee" status!!!
Thanks for reading!
