    --

    Let's be honest, most of us, myself included, have no problem telling anyone with a pair of ears just how busy we are, right?

    In fact, I've never met a midlife professional who isn't swamped with work. Earlier this year, I conducted a survey on joy at work, asking 400 professionals in their 40s, 50s and 60s, what their biggest joy at work challenge was. And across the board, the top answer was the same. Time pressure and an overwhelming workload.

    So yes, we're all busy.

    But lately, I've noticed something else creeping into the conversation. I'm going to call this busy bragging. And it's at an all-time high.

    Today, I want to break down why we do this, what's really going on from a psychological perspective, and share a little experiment that you can try this week to dial up your joy at work (and dial down the busy bragging).
