Do Less in 2024: Busyness is Ruining Our Health, Happiness, and Marriages

I’ve added a new category – Do Less in 2024, and it will be an ongoing theme for this year.

More and more I am seeing how our insane busyness is a massive problem. It hurts virtually all of us, both directly and indirectly. Our busyness means we don’t have time for what matters. It also makes us grumpy, or worse. Our wives and kids get cheated because of our busyness. And we get cheated because of their busyness. 

I see how busyness is making our society angry, selfish, and unaware. We do rude things, and don’t even see, much less take, opportunities to help and bless others. As for marriages, I strongly suspect busyness is a primary cause of most divorces, and it’s certainly why most of us are having less sex than we want.

We can change, but it’s not easy. It’s countercultural, and folks won’t understand. However, if we become less busy we will be happier, and healthier, and we will live longer. Seems worth the effort to me!

Year-end giving:

I’ll give a total when we add last minute online donations and what come in by mail over the next week. As of Saturday afternoon.
