Communication Tip: Don’t tell people you’re too busy

02.13.2018 by David Murray // Leave a Comment

Sorry we haven't gotten together. I've been so busy.

And that is why we haven't gotten together.

But I know what you're thinking.

"Well, I'm busy too!"

(Because everyone thinks they're terribly busy, and work terribly hard. Except the people who take pride in avoiding work—and they take a quiet pride in how hard they work at that.)

I'm sorry we haven't gotten together.

I hope we find time to get together soon.

And leave it at that.
