only doing one thing at a time

listen, this isn't always doable. but when the opportunity arises to only do one thing at a time, you should take it. I tend to rush through life and try to maximize productivity at every turn, but I feel INFINITELY calmer when I, say, simply take 10 minutes to sit and eat my lunch while looking out the window vs distractedly eating while working on my laptop, or just sit at a red light vs frantically trying to respond to a text, or even just completely finishing a task before moving onto the next, etc etc. the saying really is true: slow is smooth and smooth is fast.
