“I read these biographies all the time about these successful people and one of the patterns that I've discovered, and what I've discovered in myself and all of my friends who have become very successful, has been the fact that they say "Yes" to a lot of commitments.

If you just have this one goal, then that one thing may get shoved under the rug and procrastinated on. But if you say yes to a lot of things; if you almost overcommit, then you probably won't get all of the things you've committed to complete. But you'll get a good portion of them. The 80% that you DO get done will still be more than that one person who said no to a lot of things. The busiest people get the most things done.”
David Tian Ph.D

Thich Nhat Hanh
“When we practice walking with awareness, our solid peaceful steps cultivate the energy of mindfulness and bring us back to the present moment. When we sit and follow our breathing, aware of our in-breath and out-breath, we are cultivating the energy of mindfulness. When we have a meal in mindfulness, we invest all our being in the present moment and are aware of our food and of those who are eating with us. We can cultivate the energy of mindfulness, whatever we are doing鈥攚hen we are working, or cleaning up, and even when we are being intimate with our loved one. Just a few days practicing like this can increase our energy of mindfulness, and that energy will help us, protect us, and give us courage to go back to ourselves, to see and embrace what is there in our territory.”
Thich Nhat Hanh, Fidelity: How to Create a Loving Relationship That Lasts

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“However, if I were to let my life be taken over by what is urgent, I might very well never get around to what is essential. It's so easy to spend your whole time being preoccupied with urgent matters and never starting to live, really live.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Letters to Marc About Jesus: Living a Spiritual Life in a Material World

J A Croome, The Sand People: a collection of magical realism and other stories

Giannis Delimitsos
“Homo defessus 鈥� Never before in human history have so many people considered their everyday tiredness (because they are so busy and have so much to do) as a badge of honor. We are living in the era of Homo defessus, the exhausted man. I wonder if historians of the distant future (if there will be any) will look back at our epoch and decide to give it a name: 鈥淭he Second Dark Ages,鈥� because for the first time, humans not only deliberately sought exhaustion, but were also convinced that this mentality was their pride, an indisputable token of greatness.”
Giannis Delimitsos

Adam J. Kurtz, You Are Here (For Now): A Guide to Finding Your Way

“Amidst the Orange Dreamy hues of life, a mindful truth whispers: 'No one is too busy; silence echoes unspoken desires. The heart yearns in a silent war with the mind's certainty. In this dance, acknowledge the ache, for within, lies the key to healing.”
Huzefa Nalkheda wala

Virginia Woolf
“Pause, reflect, admire, take heed of your ways鈥攕o these ancient tablets are always advising and exhorting us. One leaves the church marveling at the spacious days when unknown citizens could occupy so much room with their bones and confidently request so much attention for their virtues when we鈥攂ehold how we jostle and skip and circumvent each other in the street, how sharply we cut corners, how nimbly we skip beneath motor cars. The mere process of keeping alive needs all our energy. We have no time, we were about to say, to think about life or death either, when suddenly we run against the enormous walls of St. Paul鈥檚.”
Virginia Woolf, The London Scene: Six Essays on London Life
