Do me a favor?
Stay under the covers a little longer.
Let the morning be slow. Clock in a little late.
Take the long way home - the one that passes your favorite pineapple man.
Close your laptop on the plane and look at the clouds for a while. They've been there long before your deadlines, and they'll still be there when your work is done.
For the love of God, close the laptop and look at the clouds.
When you say there’s no time to read, or to sit quietly with a guitar in your hand
look again.
The time is there. You just buried it under obligation.
Let the phone ring. Send that call to voicemail.
Meet a friend for coffee and talk about everything… but work.
Drive farther than necessary just to eat at the place you love.
Turn your camera off during the Zoom call and bake some brownies while they drone on about revenue and targets.
You keep saying, “I have so much to do.”
But somehow the doing always gets done.
