“Busy” Is Not a Flex—Here’s What Is
Episode Description
This week on The Priority Report, Scotti calls out the “busy” epidemic—why we use it, what it really means, and how it’s holding us back from living and connecting with intention. From personal accountability to timeboxing your calendar, this episode is your permission slip to stop glorifying busyness and start prioritizing what (and who) actually matters. Get ready for practical tips, a little tough love, and a reminder that your profession will never love you back—but your people will.
✨ Ready to break the busy cycle? Tune in, reflect, and reclaim your time for what counts.
Key Takeaways
- “Busy” Is a Filler, Not a Value
- Using “busy” as an excuse often masks a lack of intention or unclear priorities. It can send the wrong message—to ourselves and others—about what truly matters.
- Timeboxing Creates Certainty and Reduces Anxiety
- Structuring your calendar with dedicated blocks for work, routines, and relationships transforms chaos into clarity. When everything has its place, there’s less stress and more space for what you love.
- Relationships Need Scheduled Investment
- Connection isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list. It’s a priority that deserves protected time, just like your work. Small, consistent investments in relationships compound over time.
- Accountability Starts With You
- Coaches, friends, and partners can support you—but true accountability is self-driven. Take ownership of your habits, your time, and your choices.
- Balance Across All Facets of Life
- Don’t let professional busyness crowd out personal, family, or community priorities. A healthy, fulfilling life means allocating time to all parts of your identity.
