Too busy, swamped, a lot going on, overwhelmed, not enough time in the day.  Bullshit.  I can't possibly count the number of times someone said, "I've been so busy I didn't have time for X, Y, or Z."  You know something?  EVERYONE is busy!  I'm busy, you're busy, we're all busy.  Yet somehow, I've managed my way through life without ever uttering that phrase as an excuse.  Why?  Because I'm an honest person.

If I didn't do something because I didn't feel like doing it, that's exactly what I'll say.  I didn't feel like doing it.  No need to waste time with lame fucking excuses.  The fact is if I really want to do something, I'll make time for it.  And if I don't, then I prioritized other shit ahead of it.  Saying I was "too busy" is nothing more than an apology.  I will never apologize for the manner in which I prioritize things, and neither should you.  If you are prioritizing things incorrectly, then that's on you to get your act together.  Just don't come at me with any "I've been too busy" bullshit.  I have no time to suffer fools, I'm too busy.

Short and sweet, rookie.
