7.24.25: Busy or Full?

There’s a difference between being busy and being full. Busy is what you say when you’re scattered, stressed, sprinting. Full is what you say when your time is accounted for by choice. Lately, I’ve been chasing “full.” I want to look at my week and see purpose, not just appointments. I want to feel spent in the best way, not just depleted. We glorify the grind like it’s proof of importance. But I think real power is having the clarity to say no. To protect your time like it’s sacred. Because it is. You don’t get time back.
