Embracing Stillness: Finding Balance
I was reminded of this when I was telling my office manager Jaye about a fun new project I’m working on and she threw the book I had recently loaned to her about life management and saying no (“Essentialism”) on my desk. Whoops. I guess I need a reminder! Check out my stories for the book!

I teach a lot about workflow and work-life balance... but sometimes, like tonight, I do stay up past midnight to get a lot of work done.
My biggest problem is that once I've become efficient in one area of my life and freed up my time there, I tend to refill it too quickly with something else - good things mostly for work and life - but because of that I don't take the moment to enjoy the emptiness of free time.
Does anyone do this successfully? Learned how to enjoy empty, quiet space?
