You ended yesterday exhausted and couldn’t say what you had actually accomplished. The important things are still sitting on the desk. They’ll be there tomorrow too.

This week, Ingrid, Chuck and Carson take on activity versus productivity. Why do so many of us wear busyness as a badge of honour? What did Jesus see in Mary that He didn’t commend in Martha? And what does it cost the people at our own table when we are home in body but somewhere else in mind?

A fair warning. This is one of our longer episodes. We could have trimmed it, but this subject doesn’t yield to a quick fix. There’s a one-week time audit to try, three questions to ask before you say yes to anything, and a word on Sabbath that may well rearrange your calendar.

So pour a coffee, or go for a walk with the earbuds in. Give it the time. I think you’ll be glad you did.
