Always active, never busy

From a blog by Darius Foroux

Whenever anyone asks me “are you busy?”, I always answer “no”, then after the ensuing awkward pause, add: “always active, never busy”. You see, I consciously only work with a select and small number of clients at a time, and also only very rarely work on projects or with deadlines, generally working on a retained basis to coach and be a sounding board to leaders on their journey.
