Although I agree about the problematic of "busyness as a badge", a lot of the services referenced that people use they also use because a) they are exhausted b) they can't access transportation themselves (eg, grocery delivery) or c) there are just no local options for the supplies they need. I myself order most of my household cleaning goods online because we need unscented products, and searching through the drug stores, grocery stores and specialty shops *is* a pain in the ass (and also the unscented products are often found in the extremely perfumed cleaning aisles!). So i think it's important to keep the nuance in the discussion between convenience/overconsumption and accessibility :)
