“Too Busy”

It’s time to call out “I’m too busy” for being the lazy, nonsense response that it is.

You may, in fact, be busy, maybe even very busy, but we all bend over backwards to make shit happen provided we give a shit about said shit. No one’s ever “too busy.”

Better wording might be “given everything that’s on my plate right now, this isn’t something I can take on.”

The answer’s ultimately the same - no - but feels less like a brush off.
