Why are you so busy? Author Katherine May and Jane Lindsay of creative community Snapdragon Life talk to Viv Groskop about using busy-ness as anaesthetic, as distraction, as armour. They talk about making a business built on connection, not consumerism. They talk about drawing strength and purpose from times of difficulty. They talk about hibernating dormice, swimming in ice cubes and taking life advice from seagulls.
