I shared yesterday that I’m on the road this week, moving between spaces, and ideas. This will culminate at the weekend, when I’m in Venice for the ‘Planetary Summit’, exploring ideas around the very fragile work on a planetary philosophy.
Up to a point, this movement gives me energy. But today I notice that it’s eroding my ability to focus. I’m busy, but becoming less focussed and effective, jumping between ideas and activities. It’s also harder to relax, which is not just nice, but necessary. We cannot be ‘on the go’ all the time without burning down a particular type of energy.
Use your sixty seconds today to consider this: how do you know if you are too busy?
I don’t mean in some ridiculous macho way, where only the weak cannot run fast, but rather in a more considered and reflective way - or a more ‘real’ way - where we understand that we cannot endlessly spend currencies without also sometimes earning them back. We need to be in motion, not free fall.
