To make busy; occupy:

There is something so safe and comforting about busyness.  We are conditioned and taught to keep moving and to not stay still.  I love that phrase – that it is an seduction to fill our lives with so much stuff that we almost feel guilty if we’re not doing something.  I mean, it actually takes a lot of effort to not do anything.  I have seen people fill their lives with so much stuff that they can’t enjoy what is freely available to them – time.  Instead of enjoying it, they get busy.

Take some time to consider if you are being seduced by busyness.  What you do with it is up to you.

It is your work in life that is the ultimate seduction.
-Pablo Picasso
