Much of the stress that people feel doesn't come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they've started.

Why do people complain that there's no time to get their work done? Because there is more work to do than the work they think they have to do.

Most people feel best about their work the week before their vacation, but it's not because of the vacation itself. What do you do the last week before you leave on a big trip? You clean up, close up, clarify, and renegotiate all your agreements with yourself and others. I just suggest that you do this weekly instead of yearly.

If you don't pay attention to the things that have your attention, you'll give them more attention than they deserve.

Most of the stress people experience comes from inappropriately managed commitments they make or accept.

There are no interruptions, only mismanaged inputs

Every decision to act is an intuitive one. The challenge is to migrate from hoping it's the right choice to trusting it's the right choice.
