The Space Between

The time-space between the stuff we do is as important as the stuff we do.

The sum total of the time-space between our goals and activities is equal to or greater than the time-space we consume pursuing goals and activities.

How we use this time-space is often the difference between finding the time and energy to add value to the world or not.

When we put our minds to the task of making the most of the time-space between, it’s not surprising to learn what we can accomplish during a long commute for example.

What’s really surprising though, is to learn what we can accomplish as a bag of popcorn expands in the microwave.

Small time-spaces [between things] are the biggest part of our days.

We can use these time-spaces for anything, including rest.

And over a lifetime, wasted time-spaces can add up to years.

The happiest, the healthiest, and the wisest people I know are all strategic users of the time-spaces [between].
