When It Feels Hard to Stop

Making room for quiet

Sometimes, even when our tasks are done, we keep looking for the next commitment.

Notice that urge to fill your time without turning it into self-criticism.

Try setting aside a brief moment without a goal of being productive.

You might simply listen, look around, or spend time in a quiet place.

A pause counts, too

You don’t have to make your pause another task to get just right.
