Read the article "The 'Busy' Trap" by Tim Kreider from The New York Times. Can you identify with what he is saying? Do you agree or disagree, and why? Have you been guilty of this? Most of us have. What can we do to change our actions and perspective on this issue? Kreider cites anxiety and guilt as byproducts of this mentality. He goes on to mention that children are so busy, scheduled with classes and extracurriculars. Are or were you one of those kids? What about your beliefs? Do you agree with Kreider that one's time spent with people is more important than money? Explain why or why not.
