The world often applauds being busy, but underneath the constant motion is a quiet cost. Busyness can crowd out clarity, overshadow joy, and leave little room for our souls to breathe. What if, instead of letting busyness run our lives, we could reclaim the rhythm of purpose and the peace of living out our true priorities?
In this episode of Educators Among Us, Scott Barron, Chef Reinvention Officer with School Growth takes on this very tension, speaking to the lives of educators and leaders who often feel the relentless pace of bell-to-bell demands. He reflects on the dangers of treating busyness as a "badge of honor" and how misplaced priorities can masquerade as productivity.
Through scripture, practical wisdom, and daily habits, Scott points to a better way: starting each day with prayer, practicing gratitude, and setting priorities with intention. He highlights how small, consistent choices can reduce burnout, strengthen relationships, and restore energy for the things that matter most.
