Elder Neal A. Maxwell cautioned us against a "frantic, heedless busyness...{that often} crowds out contemplation and leaves no room for renewal." He likened thoughtful "intervals between our tasks" to the green belts of grass, trees, and water that...interrupt the asphalt," and said that when we "plan some time for contemplation and renewal, we will feel "drawn" to our work instead of "driven" to it."
Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin feared that we may "feel that the busier we are, the more important we are--as though our busyness defines our worth." He also reminded us that "being busy is not necessarily being spiritual- for in fact, noise and "busyness" can actually crowd out the "still small voice" of the Spirit.
