• How busy times make slowing down more important—but also lead to more guilt
• A new definition of the word “productivity”
• How slowing down helps us savor, experience more meaning, and also creates more opportunity for reflection
• How to fit slowing down into a busy scheduling, especially by minding the gaps in your day
• The productivity benefits of meditation
• The power of “scatterfocus”
