http://www.sacristy.co.uk/blog/2015/10-easy-ways-to-avoid-work-stress Tips #1 above are allocate a fixed amount of time for certain tasks because tasks fill the time given to them. Whereas Secondly I am asked to give longer to other tasks, like the walk to work and then there's chance for time to notice the world around me. I like this re ordering. I tend to squeeze the travel time and don't set limits on mundane tasks. A friend of mine says his colleagues all over work so he takes the time off they're not using. He actually works very hard and performs excellently yet he does seem to have time for a brew and chat. This is my plan for today. I have to be at work for a 10:30 meeting and had planned to be there for 10 to tidy up a bit. I'm going to set off at 9:30 giving me time for a slow walk and time to chat in the cafe when I arrive. If I notice any changes to my well being or if I notice God I'll let you know. I did notice God yesterday and this morning. I was being quiet. No tv, no radio, no social media. Only probably 15 minutes in total but I feel better connected already. I'm not busy.
