"Mindfulness Makes You More Productive"

This post was written by Penelope Trunk: "...So I get this book in the mail - The Power of Slow: 10 Ways to Save Time in Our 24/7 World - and for some reason I find myself reading it during violin practice. This is very bad because we are in a Suzuki program, which means I'm the teacher.

I said to myself, this is crazy, I'm reading a book about slowing down my life as a way to multitask while I am teaching my child to love music. I forced myself to put the book down.

But I liked the book. And I asked the author, Christine Louise Hohlbaum, to write a guest post on my blog. Which is something I never do. Because I end up hating all guest posts and spending way too much time editing them.

The first thing I did when I saw her guest post is I said no. I said this cannot be a guest post. But I think it was okay because that's her first piece of advice:

1. Learn to say no with panache...

2. Watch your words...

3. Honor Set-Up Time...

4. Save the best for last...
