Simply being busy, though easily measured, is not a good way to determine productivity, and it’s certainly not a good way to improve health. Instead, I recommend measuring how much down time you were able to incorporate. View “success” as the amount of additional time you can spend in movement, rest, reflection, white space, or quality time with those you love. These are the things that lead to a life of less stress and not staying on the hamster wheel.
