➤ Busy does not equal productive.
➤ It’s not cool to brag about being busy.
MIHALY CSIKSZENTMIHALYI
➤ “Flow is being completely involved in an activity for its own sake. The ego falls away. Time flies. Every action, movement, and thought follows inevitably from the previous one, like playing jazz.”
➤ “Unless a person knows how to give order to her thoughts, attention will be attracted to whatever is most problematic at the moment.”
