Take Your Time

Take Your Time. How frequently have we uttered that phrase, yet these days, it's almost laughable -- who really has time to "take" anymore. We try to make up for the lack of time by multi-tasking. But guess what? There's no such thing as multi-tasking. Experts have found we cannot focus on more than one task at a time. So while it may feel as if we're accomplishing tasks simultaneously, we're actually switching back and forth between each in rapid succession. In effect accomplishing less -- living in absence of the moment instead of in it. But what we're doing to save time is actually costing us more than just time. It's also fostering a deep sense of disconnectedness and isolation, and has far reaching implications.

This Year’s Food for Thought (and Minutia)

Our annual ‘if it’s good to know, then it’s a Gift to Know’ is back! Since it’s been such an emotionally charged year— one that reset boundaries around the world— we decided to be less restrained in our editing process and share everything we found that was just plain enlightening, from insightful facts to good-to-know trivia. Some will make you smile, while some are inconvenient truths that may make you take pause. Some may change your life or the life of someone else (or better yet, both). Some may open your mind where it may have been closed, or leave you scratching your head in wonder. Where others might see a series of unrelated events, we see trends. Our hope is that sharing them in bite-sized portions will trigger opportunity for you, no matter how you interpret the information. Because what’s good to know is always a Gift to Know!
