Slow Down Now: The almost serious antidote to workaholism

Six slow secrets (and four more)

1. Have a cup of tea, put your feet up and stare out of the window. Warning: don’t try this while driving.
2. Spend some quality time in the bathtub.
3. Write down these words and place them where you can see them, “Multitasking is a Moral Weakness.”
4. Try to do only one thing at a time.
5. Do not be pushed into answering a question right away. Take your time.
6. Try the “One Minute Slow Exercise.” *
7. Yawn often. Medical studies have shown lots of things and possibly that yawning may be good for you.

8. Have some more tea. Tea is the drink of the slow.
9. Join our slow story reminder list.

10. Take a nap and spend at least an hour extra in bed. You deserve it. If you need help getting out of bed, then read this .

*Slow down for just one minute. If you are walking, slow down the pace. If you are driving, ease up on the pedal. Slow down your rate of speech. Did you notice anything different?
