For a busy office executive, however, it’s different. We often hear, for example, someone claiming that they’re “either in a meeting or on the way to a meeting”. If such a busybody is found sunbathing under an umbrella on the beach, then he or she is, thank goodness, having some precious down time.
For him or her, a little down time at the beach happens only once or twice a year – which is why it’s valued or relished.
Okay, let’s read a few media examples of people, all busy in one way or another, using some down time:
1. Spend a day on tour with Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Jimi Westbrook and Phillip Sweet and it’s easy to see why their friendship is even tighter than their harmonies.
As the group, who’s been together for 17 years, boarded a speedboat for a ride on Long Island Sound last month, they were all giggling and excited to have a little down time before their gig in Greenwich, Connecticut. Then Fairchild realizes the choppy waters might lead to problems. “If anyone starts feeling sick, we have to stop,” she says. “We don’t want to mess up the show tonight.”
It’s a glimpse at how they take care of each other and why they work so well.
“We’re one big family out here,” Westbrook tells PEOPLE. “And Karen is our natural born leader.”
Over the years, the group has seen each other through many storms – professional setbacks and personal heartbreak – and also celebrated life’s joyous milestones together, like Karen and Jimi’s wedding in 2006.
