Mind

I used to start every day by opening my laptop before I had finished my coffee and by 9am I had already responded to eleven other people’s priorities and had not spent a single minute on my own — and I did that for six years and called it work ethic before I understood it was the most effective way I had ever found to avoid the discomfort of deciding what I actually wanted

The day I realized my inbox had become my most sophisticated procrastination tool—a place where I could hide from my own dreams while looking impossibly productive—was the day everything changed.
