From a netfriend:

It is possible to over-emphasize “quietness” until it becomes a self-centred idleness. Even our culture’s concept of the five-day week is unfounded – “six days shall you work…” And the Proverbs have a lot to say about slothfulness. Time for work, God, rest, family and self are all important, and they must be balanced.

I think many of the problems people associate with a “hectic lifestyle” arise not from too much to do, but wrong priorities. We somehow feel that entertainment is an obligation, when in reality, it doesn’t even appear in God’s formula for life. So we stress ourselves because we have to get home in time for the TV show, we need to pay for a vacation, and we can’t miss the footy, but they’re all self-imposed burdens. I think that if we have right priorities, we will have much less stress.”
