Quote Thursdays: The art of seeming busy
I spent a busy day today, but got little done. This is because I am at last becoming perfect in the art of seeming busy, even when very little is going on in my head or under my hands. This is an art which every man learns, if he does not intend to work himself to death.

I at least try to get things accomplished, however, it may look like I am a master at seeming to look busy. Thanks for sharing.
