"Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way." --Terry Tempest Williams
Reengineering Our Patterns
Eknath Easwaran, recommends slowing down and prioritizing our lives to live in more productive and balanced ways. As chair of the English Department at a large university, Easwaran's to-do list was long and daunting. He shares how he tackled it through inspiration from his grandmother, a woman who managed a large family with an unerring sense of what was central and what was peripheral.
BE THE CHANGE
Make out your list of obligations and even a few pleasures for today, then select one third of them that you consider peripheral to put off to tomorrow. That way, you can do well what is needed for today.
