The more we do, the more we can do; the more busy we are, the more leisure we have. – Hazlitt
I don’t quite get all of this but I know there’s something to it. I’ve heard the saying, “If you need somebody to get something done, ask a busy person” and that sort of makes sense to me, since many busy people are organized. But many busy people are busy with unimportant stuff or stuff that’s not in synch with their values or goals — “Climbing ladders that are leaning against the wrong wall” as another saying goes. The ‘leisure’ part of the quote doesn’t seem helpful at all.
