Biblically Busy
Being diligent and working efficiently and productively, instead of eating the bread of idleness (Prov 31:27), is a very biblical attitude, but not for the sake of being busy, but for the sake of God's Kingdom.
In the context, Paul says this to servants, and as we are all servants of Christ (just like Paul (Rom 1:1), James (Jas 1:1), Peter (2Pe 1:1), Jude (Jude 1:1), John (Rev 1:1) describe themselves in their letters), bought at a high price (1Co 7:23), this is a proper attitude towards our daily work and responsibilities towards the plural marriage, multi-generational family and the brethren.

"And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ." (Col 3:23-24)
