“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”----Lao Tzu

If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you don’t have to be like everyone else. You can be different. You can walk instead of driving in rush hour traffic. You can be on your iPhone or Blackberry less, and disconnected sometimes. Your environment doesn’t control your life---you do. I’m not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower.   36

1. Do less.

Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day. Focus not on quantity but on quality.    37  Save smaller, routine tasks for later in the day, but give yourself time to focus.

2. Have fewer meetings.

38   And they cat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.

3.   39

When you do the important things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that don’t get done. And you need to ask yourself how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?

4. Practice mindfulness.

Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully. When you are walking, appreciate your surrounding, no matter where you are.

Try these things out. Life is better when unrushed.    40

A. Cut the unnecessary.

B. Meetings are usually a “big waste of time”.

C. Attend to what’s important.

D. But here are some things to consider and perhaps adopt, if they work for your life.

E. Remember the quote: if nature can get everything done without rushing, so can you.

F. Pick 2-3 important thing---or even just one important thing---and word on those first.

G. Give yourself more time to get ready and get there.
