Beauty can interrupt productivity and still improve a life.

Stopping to look at something is a loss of minutes and often a gain of the day. The framework where every interruption is a cost cannot account for this, which is a limitation of the framework rather than an argument against stopping.

Allow yourself the interruption when something catches you. The light on a building, a stranger’s dog, the sky doing something. Those pauses are much of what people remember about a period of their life, and none of them will ever appear in a plan.
