It’s Time to Slow Down

October 13th, 2009

How many people do you meet in a day that are inwardly trying to catch their breath? You may think you are the only one. The condition is rampant. Here are two tips to deal with this kind of runaway chaos in our lives:

1. Find something that sets the stage for relaxation – even if only for 5 minutes (you can build to more). Here is a suggestion: Buy the book Quiet Mind by David Kuntz and set aside at least 5 minutes to read a page or two.

2. Write down three tasks on which you will focus for the following day. And block the time in your calendar to work on them. (See the entry on focusing earlier in this blog.)

Leadership Quote of the Day

Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going too fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.

Eddie Cantor -  US comedian & singer (1892 – 1964)
