“I’m busy.”
The most successful lie of the last decade.

Not actually busy.
Not overwhelmed.
Just avoiding, scrolling, disappearing — and calling it productivity.

In this episode, Noah goes after the busy excuse:
the sentence we use to dodge conversations, delay responsibility, and feel important without doing anything meaningful.

No time management tips.
No productivity hacks.
Just the uncomfortable truth about how “busy” became a personality — and why everyone’s terrified of being nothing.

If you’ve ever said “sorry, crazy week” and hoped no one asked follow-up questions, this one’s for you.
