Stress:
John O’Donahue said,
Stress is a perverted relationship with time.
Here's How:
- Aim to achieve less in a day, so that you achieve more in a year.
- Build "white space" into your schedule.
- Stress is not the problem; a lack of recovery is. Build in periods of recovery.
Here's Why:
- Becoming anti-fragile: things that not only withstand stress and volatility but actually improve and gain from such experiences. They become stronger, more resilient, and better adapted to uncertainty.
- We don't know how to rest.
- Planning fallacy.
