Addicted to Busy

In "Oliver Burkeman Is Busy," award-winning writer Oliver Burkeman delves into the pervasive culture of busyness in the modern workplace, questioning why we equate being busy with success. He explores whether our feelings of overwhelm arise from a lack of mental space rather than time, and examines the societal addiction to busyness as a means of feeling heroic or avoiding problems. Ultimately, Burkeman suggests that the antidote to this frenzy might lie in embracing a little idleness.
