I was talking with a client about time and productivity this morning. She made the comment that she knows what to do, but it doesn’t mean she does it. It’s the classic ‘knowing-doing gap’ that Jeffrey Pfeffer & Robert Schwartz consider in their book of the same name exploring the gap between knowing what to do and actually implementing that knowledge in an organisational context.

This blog post is about the quest for slow. It’s borne out of my own desire to stop, slow down a bit, and get off the treadmill of being continually busy. I hope that my discoveries also benefit you, and together we can learn to give up the habit of being constantly busy, slow down a little, and smell the roses.
