While deleting email that was from grad school, I chanced upon a mail titled Living Life in Chunklets. I never actually read the full article but was pleasantly surprised to find the archive online:
If every moment, even outside of work, is spent striving toward some officious end–reading a quick article in a trade journal, exercising to keep heart disease at bay, maintaining a network of potentially useful acquaintances with quick personal emails–then something has to fall away. And some people think it’s the fragile things that go first: contemplative time, time to just be and not do, time to let the mind drift and spin.
