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, “Multi-tasking 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. Get some stuff to show you're slow.
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. Don't forget to read some slow stories.
