Reader Survey Results (+ the giveaway winner!)
As you probably know (since many of you filled it out!), a couple weeks ago I asked Just Bee's readers to fill out a little blog survey.

I think this misunderstanding of busyness versus productivity stems in the fact that we consider the two to be synonymous. They're not always the same thing!
