The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
Lessons learned
Comer borrows the line from Dallas Willard and it stuck with me. Being busy isn't the issue. Being rushed inside is what wrecks attention, patience, and relationships.
The first ten minutes alone with no phone are uncomfortable because I've trained myself out of it. Like any skill, it comes back with reps.
One day a week with nothing to produce. I resisted this for years and it turned out to be the most productive thing I do.
Fewer things, fewer commitments, fewer open tabs. Every yes I remove gives the remaining ones room.
Drive the speed limit, take the long line, put the phone in another room. Small frictions that retrain the nervous system.
Who should read it
Anyone who feels behind even on days when nothing is due. It's a faith-based book, but the practices work for anyone.
