A couple weeks ago an article titled
If you're busy, you're doing something wrong
floated around the internets. It was about a study comparing the crème de la crème of violinists at an elite school in Germany with those that are just the crème.
The study found that despite putting in the same amount of measurable work (hours spent) those at the very top report being significantly less busy than those who are merely near the top. They also report having heaps of free time and generally having a rather easygoing lifestyle.
And yet, they significantly outperform those who are constantly busy and under pressure.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
