The faster you rush through a day, the less of it you’ll remember. Slow down enough to notice something.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Attention is what turns an hour into a memory, and hurry spends your attention on the next thing rather than the present one. A rushed day can be full of events and still leave nothing behind, because nothing in it was looked at properly. Speed is not the enemy of getting things done, only of keeping them.

Choose one part of today to do at normal pace with your attention on it. A meal, a walk, one conversation where you are not planning the next task. That piece is what the day will consist of when you look back.
