Listen and Slow Down

2 weeks after writing ‘Stretch: Do Less’, the 2 things I started practicing are working and I’ll continue…

  1. Daily to-do list: start with 3
  2. Meeting, speech: plan less

Yet I realized that they’re mostly related to ‘do less/well’. Fort the other 2 goals: listen more and slow down…

Count to 3 after others finish before I start talking.

‘Slow down’ is tough as I simply have many things going on, how to slow down? I want to think it more…at least take a deep breath before responding or say I will get back to you on that, especially if it’s a major decision or under emotion. I then write the thoughts down, take a walk or have a good night sleep, and think again.
