Use inaction to be more productive
from Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu
How to Apply This
-
Let your day be unscheduled.
If you are the type of person who likes to write to-do lists, or to fill in the calendar, stop it. When you schedule your day, you give yourself limitations. Let your skills and energy determine the amount of work you can do, not your to-do lists or time stamps. -
Change your outer goals to inner ones.
Every goal that needs outer confirmation can limit you, or even pull you back. Remember, when you try to be famous, popular, or rich, you are in need of things you can not control: other people, economy, exchange rates, etc. When your goals are pointing inwards you can thrive more easily. Inner goals are being more generous, honest, persistent, etc.
