I Didn't Do the Thing Today

#Things to consider

1. Remember that all those time-saving tools should actually save you time. Don’t try to do more. But actually less.
2. Productive work is not only what makes you money, it could also be renovating a home, cooking for people you love, studying. Whatever brings you emotional satisfaction.
3. On most days, three to four hours of high-quality, focused mental work is about our maximum. Working beyond that can be a waste.
4. Getting the majority of our work done in less time—say, because we are practiced in a certain skill—shouldn’t mean that the remaining hours are then spent on more work.
5. We need some hours in the day to waste as we wish—just like the negative space in design cushions the text to make it more readable. We need cushioning in our days, too.
