At the checkout of the supermarket, I am asked by the person scanning the groceries: “Have you got a busy day today?” (or, “Have you had a busy day today?”) When friends or acquaintances meet, “keeping busy” is a regular response to the bidding, “How are you?” (Or the person may open the conversation with, “Are you keeping busy?”).
Busy is IN.
During the Covid lockdown, most worked from home. Post-lockdown, there has been an increase in continuing to work from home – at least part of the time. I heard of a study recently of Kiwi office workers – on average, how much actual work does such a person productively do in an approximately 8-hour day? Three hours!
