Earlier last year I put a sign up in my office that says: slow the f@$& down! You are enough!

And that pretty much sums up my struggle with this. 😂 and as an author, we live in our minds so much that we often don’t even realize we are working when we truly are. I will be learning these lessons my whole life, and I hope my kids learn them quicker. Thank you for sharing with us♥️

William James wrote (though don't ask me where!) that free time is harder to manage than work time and, 150 years later, he is still right. The other quote that sprang to mind, reading this great post, is about enoughness (as opposed to too-muchness), and it's this: 'you can never get enough of something that is not quite enough'. Perhaps Adam Philipps said this, or was it Tristan Harris? Anyway, the point is that it's less that we are greedy than that we are needy.
