SQUEEZE IN, SQUEEZE OUT
Sunday Mar. 12, 2017
Less. Is more.
More is more.
Much more is much more. So much input. So many sources, so much information. One click away.
Add daily pre-programmed bombardments our in-boxes become swampy quagmires or slurry gravel to be sluiced to reveal nugget after nugget of gold. We can let this tide waft over us like a hot breeze on summer nights or like blinding fog on a chilly night – where are these gems, how can we harness elusive magic?
Weekends acquire new meaning – work weeks no longer span Monday to Friday or nine to five. No form, no structure; rest, recuperation, refocus – who has time for that?
24/7 sounds extreme – because who could work that much, or want to? I do. Don’t you?
I don’t mean dreary work, determined work, structured or dictated work; rather work/art/passion within. Might be painting for someone, art or craft or writing for someone – might be balancing books or plotting an IPO or merger strategy for someone else – or finishing the quilt, finishing the trail, finishing a personal or business transformation for someone else.
I tire from days, but never from work.
I avoid, shirk, delay and magically reschedule (procrastination at the pro level) everything I’d rather not do today – instead, spending time doing what I love doing.
Do I fit in?
Not with someone, anyone for that matter, but do I still fit in this world?
Is this 80 hour work week too long?
Or not long enough?
We can’t make 25 hour days or 8 day weeks.
We can squeeze more in.
More we squeeze in, the more waste, distractions and ridiculous obstacles we squeeze out.
