Dont do work in a hurry!

 A mind that is fast is sick;

 A mind that is slow is sound;

A mind that is still is Divine!

-Meher Baba, Sufi Saint

Amelia Barr says, the successful novelist says:

Don't do work in hurry. go into details. it pays in every way.

Time means power for your work.

Mediocrity is always in a rush.

But whatever is worth doing at all is Doing with consideration;

For genius is nothing more no nothing less 

than doing well what anyone can do badly!  

My Notes:

21st Century is running on steroids! moving at break-neck speed

with little knowing of where we are heading!

here are 8 ways to slow down by Eknath Eswaran :

1. Give yourself more time

2. Dont crowd your day

3. Ask What is important (not what is urgent!)

4. Take time for relationships

5. Take time for reflections

6. Dont hurry 

7. Cultivate patience

8. Slow down your mind!

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
