Across many areas of life, from education and health through to business and politics, we’ve become obsessed with the ‘doing’ mode. We like to keep busy in a world where success is measured and rewarded through meeting immediate, tangible targets. Pausing, stepping back to reflect on what this busyness is all about, is seen as a sign of laziness or inefficiency. It can also feel terrifying when we’re not used to it – it forces us to engage with who we are when we aren’t busy with our busy doing.
