What would people think?

What would people think?

If I stopped being busy, deviated from the frenetic culture

Daydreaming of what life could be like without the sense of urgency

My finger’s pitter patter, noisily clicking, responding to a trail of emails

Such a hard worker I am, you say

A ping from the phone, pulled away again

Frantic thumbs messaging, Send

Phone rings amidst the black noise chatter, listen, respond

Multi-tasking another talent of mine

Co-worker loiters in my space

I offer a solution, a smile and I get a nod of approval

A team player no doubt

Stomach growls

Grab the sandwich, chew, swallow, inhaled in minutes

Never pausing, no gaps between the tasks

Outstanding at filling silent space

Proud despite stress accumulating in my jaw

Settling on the shoulder girdle, back aches, eyes weary

Always busy

Hours blur

Days and months merge together

What year is it?

Everything is so urgent

Higher ups perch on a metaphoric limb waiting like vultures for results

Instantaneous expectations.

Wondering what people would think if I couldn’t meet them

What if I ate on the bench outside?

Left at Five o’clock before everyone else?

Or walked around the block?

Everyone’s so absorbed in their seemingly important tasks

I can’t lose face

I too, must show my busy-ness

Oh hell, I need to wee

I need a break

I want to scream

What would people think?

Take a pause: what would people think?

Humans are social beings who adhere to social and cultural norms

If busy-ness is the norm, most will abide by it whether it is healthy or not

To impact your work culture, begin by talking about it

Get your superiors on board

Be the change maker, take a break, eat lunch away from your desk.

Go for a walk without your devices

Set a ‘no talk about work’ rule when at lunch or socialising

What will people think, they will thank you for stepping up
