To think people who say they’re “too busy” are usually just disorganised?

The people who moan about being “so busy” never seem to actually get that much done. AIBU to think it’s just poor management dressed up as busyness?

Has someone said they're too busy to see you? It may be that they have a busier social life than you or are too busy enjoying doing what make them happy at home rather than poor organisation.

Sometimes they take on too much. For good or not so good reasons

I think this is a great example. I read a lot and have a full on job, commute, two kids and exercise, have some sort of social life…. And certain people scoff a bit and say how could I possibly have time? It’s basically because I watch less TV and spend less time scrolling on my phone (I do spend some time scrolling!) - a lot of it is choices. I’m also pretty intentional about my time after reading a book (lol) about it ie I think I will spend the next hour ironing and then have an hour watching TV. I don’t really ‘drift’ very often.
some people definitely feel they are being judged by not fitting in something time consuming to their lives, but I expect most of the time no one is judging and its just their own feelings. I know people who run marathons etc and make the time for that, and I don’t feel they are judging my life for ‘only’ running 3 times a week. I probably would have a few years ago before I got a bit older and spent time working on my own self confidence though!
