I think this writer at Forbes is right: "[B]ecause busyness has become a status symbol–a sign that you are in demand and thus important–it's easy to default to the word “busy” to describe your life. When we tell people that we are busy, in many cases what we're trying to say is, “The activities that consume my day are important. I feel overwhelmed because I am busy, but my busyness is mandatory because I'm contributing so much to the world.” When we feel busy, we feel like we're winning at life–like we're doing something right and maximizing our productivity."
