    "If you don't have the systems and the structure set up in the background to help you, you're going to stay trapped in that reactive mode."

    "It was just almost an addiction to busyness... we get so much satisfaction of accomplishing so much by being so busy. But so often at the end of the day, we sit down and feel as if we've accomplished nothing."
