We use the word busy far too often. We say it when friends ask us how we are doing, as if being busy is an emotion. It’s an excuse we use to procrastinate on unpleasant tasks. We use it to sound important at work, because being busy somehow equates to being successful. But you’re never too busy for 10 minutes, which is all it takes to improve yourself just a little each day.

There’s no shortage of publications highlighting our youth— child prodigies , early entrepreneurs and the best 30 under 30. That’s great, but that’s not me. Most of my success was achieved later in life, and I am certain it is the better one. Being a late bloomer, most rites of passage were belated. I learned how to ride a bicycle at 24. I ran my first race at 38 and got published (outside of school papers) at 45.
