THE WORLD’S BUSIEST AIRPORT

I’m currently sitting at the Atlanta International Airport (Hartsfield Jackson). As we flew in from Florida a few minutes ago, the pilot welcomed everyone to Atlanta calling it, “the worlds busiest airport”. I wasn’t sure what he meant by busiest. Busiest as in the most planes arriving and departing? Per capita? Per gate? Per people working on their laptops (like me)? Most crowded hallways?

BUSY MEANS WHAT?

After spending this past week sitting on a beach, not being busy, it is a rude awakening to be reminded how busy life can be.  My friend Matt regularly reminds me that we are happiest when we’re really busy.  (Unfortunately, what he really means is we are distracted.)

For years I believed that busy was directly related to my ‘to do’ list.  Was that ever a farce?  I now believe “busy is as busy does” (Thanks Forrest!). It’s not about the length of your ‘to do’ list, rather it’s your ability to manage your to-do’s efficiently, within an expected time frame.  Okay, maybe not genius talking, but for those of us who’s ‘to do’ list are rather long, be encouraged - it’s up to you - busy means what? Busy is as busy does.
