No. 2

A no-rush day. Take notes from a sloth.

Sloths move slowly and live long lives. Try borrowing their rhythm today.

Sloths sleep more than fifteen hours a day. When they do move, they move so slowly it's like they're operating on a different clock. And yet, they're alive, they're fine. They're basically the energy-efficiency champions of the animal kingdom.

You don't have to run at full throttle every day either. Today, sloth mode is allowed. That reply can wait. The chores can be half-done. The big decision can wait until you've slept on it.

Going slowly isn't being lazy. It's an active choice to get back to your own pace. At least for today, slow is fine.
