Stress doesn’t equal results

Too often, we can fall into this trap of appearing too busy or stressed to accomplish something.

You can see this with hiking, where people push themselves until they are out of breath and are not enjoying the experience. They get to the top only a few minutes faster than the other person, who is going at a steady pace.

The same happens when completing an assignment from the boss or paying bills. Breakneck speed and the associated stress aren’t a strategy to run your life.

Half the stress and yet the same results.
