@Molly- just don’t get bogged down in the Leibniz vs. Voltaire part…

@Cindy- maybe I’m making it sound worse than it was?? It’s not bad!

@Jennie – good question. I think some is just temperament. Some people are small lightweight water craft and some people are air craft carriers that just don’t turn around quickly. It’s not good or bad it just is what it is! But some lifestyles are a little more doable in water craft mode. I think it does help to have a good sense of what you are intending to do during the day, so you aren’t deciding what to pivot to (that burns up a lot of energy). It also helps to have quick checklists of what need to happen to get to the next thing, or to otherwise boost efficiency. Like a kid’s sports equipment always has to be in a certain bag. Shoes always need to be by the door. Etc.

@Frank – the detail makes it more fun, though! I love reading logs where people tell narratives of their day. So much more interesting than “work” “drive” “cook dinner…” But yes, less efficient for the long haul 🙂

Do you think people can learn to transition faster? Have you seen people improve significantly? I need that superpower!

@Margot- working from home definitely does save time. Yep, weekends can be harder to track – I needed to make sure to remind myself when I first started doing this. Otherwise time does slip away.

@Jennie – I definitely feel like people feel different about transitions…I don’t really feel like I’m rushing all that much, even if it might look that way. I didn’t eat that much pasta I promise! So I wasn’t scarfing it down 🙂
