Its amazing how we can miss whats right in front of our noses because we don't stop to pay attention. Letting everything go and completely focusing on your task is the zen of taoism. The whole religion is based on it. In today's modern world, a living psychology legend (whose name I cannot spell for the life of me!), really delves into the art of the pause. He calls is flow and has made a living and a name out of it. Here's the wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_%28psychology%29 Great post.

I am guilty of all the above. I think a major factor in our inability to "pause" is our personality traits. If you are a very driven, self-motivated, high-achiever, this relentless feeling of "business" can consume you. I completely agree that the world we live in--the technology, work, school, and children--all play a part in consuming our time. I also try and multi-task often--good thing I'm a guy--cause I'm not very good at it! Incredibly insightful post. I am guilty of all the above.

I completely agree that the world we live in–the technology, work, school, and children–all play a part in consuming our time. I also try and multi-task often–good thing I’m a guy–cause I’m not very good at it!
