   Busy hands and idle minds have knitted many a sweater

   There is a theory by psychologists which is called busy hands. It   
   states that holding an object makes people think of the object and   
   stops them from losing focus when thinking about something else, thus   
   acting as a catalyst for cognition.   
      
   You might have heard the saying "Busy hands are happy hands" -- with   
   all the goings-on in today's society, it's a cliche we can stand by!   
   After all, what keeps us busy may feel like a lot of stress, but they   
   often bring us joy. Whether managing a crew at work or creating new   
   arts and crafts with your children, without the right enthusiasm, you   
   won't be able to master both!   
      
   It is very good to get yourself busy as long as you are productive and   
   not just busy.

   44. Busy hands are the product of an active mind, full of positive   
   ideas.
