One prominent component of self-help guidance all the online advisors tout is time utilization. They remind us we are always running out of time every day in our life which we cannot get back. Most recommend we hit the ground running and need to own the morning to establish the standard of our high-performance day. Intense! However, I have learned over the years when it is time to take a break from my high-performance drive, I need to take time to slow down, reflect and put everything in perspective. Do Nothing!

To all the readers of this post striving to become a high performer, in the words of American author Gertrude Stein: “It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.”

Opinions Welcomed!
