People are focusing on this term "busyness", but what I see resembles more "deliberateness".

It's like... Let's theorize that the underlying mechanism of excellence is "strength of focus", in the same way that weight lifting is "strength of muscles". The elite player's practice schedule then resembles HIT vs the average player's aerobics.

It's similar to how work/life balance isn't just about leaving the office, but about having something to _do_ that is for your life (instead of your work).



That reminds me of this, "seemingly non-sensical but rings true upon reflection" quote:

If you want something done, give it to the busiest person
