Lawyers are some of the folks who try to do it all, I know I am. I remember one time that I was trying to listen to two different seminars - one on the computer and one of the phone while doing some work. Guess what? I got nothing from it and I knew I probably wouldn't but I still tried.
Sometimes, it is necessary to step back, take a breath (a real breath, not that shallow, urgent thing we do all the time that we pass for taking a breath) and remember that we don't need to do it all.
I want to share something I came across that reminds us lawyers that slowing down occasionally and really paying attention to our days and the moments that comprise them, isn't such a bad thing.
