Monthly Round-Up No. 2: Slowing Down, Single-tasking, and the 20s

Happy November! Below are a few things I hope you’ll find helpful:

• An article about NOT being busy.
• A podcast about single-tasking.
• A book about the 20s.

 
Article:
In this article, We Are Broke in Our Busyness, Zoe Kim makes an argument for slowing down. She questions the value of being busy and striving. She describes the costs of being busy. She also offers suggestions on how to slow down.

Podcast Episode:
Is multi-tasking really an efficient way to get things done? The podcast episode Note to Self: Spring Cleaning for the Mind, invites us to consider single-tasking instead.

Book Recommendation:
Are the 20s all about dating, having fun, and exploring? Maybe, but that's not all that they should be about. Meg Jay's book, The Defining Decade describes the professional and relational tasks that twenty-somethings need to focus on accomplishing.
