Summary: If I was to run into you in the street and asked how you were, what would your answer be? I’m going to take a punt that you would say “Busy”. My Hubby is often asked “How have you been? Busy?”. This has a lot to do with the industry he is in as it is seen as a sign of good business in the corporate world if you are ‘busy’. I found that Mums at school were also saying they were ‘busy’ when asked how they were. I am not saying they weren’t busy – because let’s face it, we always are! – but somehow it wasn’t sitting well with me. The connotations were negative and people were starting to feel sorry for each other depending on where they fell on the ‘busy’ scale. I see ‘busy’ as being a negative in our lives. The concept of ‘busy’ is invading every part of our being, preventing us from having fun, stopping us from connecting with our inner child and spending time doing those things we love. That’s it! No more. We’ve come up with a new definition of BUSY. One which is positive and works toward supporting busy women. (Yes, I do know I said ‘busy women’ in this sentence. I’m not saying we aren’t busy – I just want to help you look at BUSY from a different angle – one that’s not so negative.) So what is our new definition? Each day this week I will blog about each aspect of our new definition of BUSY. Interlinked with our new definition are eight traits of an Organised Mum. Each post will dissect B-U-S-Y, share with you the relevant traits of each one, and give you direction to move toward a new concept of BUSY. I hope you enjoy the journey! Until next time happy organising!
