We want you to begin each day by thinking about what you hope will be the bright spot. But the space between has been neglected. Plenty of self-help gurus have offered suggestions for setting goals, and plenty of productivity experts have created systems for getting things done. And tasks are necessary to get things done, but without a focal point, they fly by in a forgettable haze. Long-term goals are useful for orienting you in the right direction but make it hard to enjoy the time spent working along the way.
We believe focusing on activities that fall between long-term goals and short-term tasks is the key to slowing down, bringing satisfaction to your daily life, and helping you make time. And when you’re busy day after day, time slides by in a blur. Doing more doesn’t help you create time for what matters it just makes you feel even more frazzled and busy. It’s the only way to fit those important moments into your life. If you want to make time for things that matter, the Busy Bandwagon-our modern culture of constant busyness-will tell you the answer is to do more.
