Choosing to step away from the relentless culture of busyness requires intentionality. Julianna Poplin challenges the automatic urge to fill our schedules, urging us to examine our motives, set clear boundaries, and pause before saying yes.

"It’s not that we are already busy. It’s that we don’t want to become busy, and that’s why we don’t do these extra things. We are intentionally un-busy."

"We sign onto things without knowing why we are doing them. We go with the flow of what other parents do, what friends do, or what our family does without stopping to ask questions."

"The world will fill your schedule up until you’re drained and exhausted. Choosing to let go of busyness will mean you get used to saying no and saying it often."
