You know what? I've been using "too busy" as an excuse a lot for the past.. many years. I know I'm not the only one using it as an excuse either.
If one thinks about it, the statement "too busy" really implies that the person is too busy for that activity, or that event, or you. The reality is that whatever that person is doing at that time is more important than the other thing that happens to be at that time as well.
Some people will try to please everyone by spending a little time with everyone, but then not everyone will be satisfied. I know some people who try that but there are so many hours in a day. Eventually we have to make a choice: What do I want most to do at that moment? (Or what do I hate least to do at that moment?)
So the next time someone tells you he/she's too busy. Ask what they're doing. You'll quickly find out where one's priorities lay from a few simple questions. ("Doing laundry?!? How could doing laundry be more important than a Leafs game?!?")
