Sara’s Quotes

“We have to stop the glorification of busy. We need to change our mindset and redefine what it means to be productive. Productivity is not about doing more, it’s doing what’s most important. We need to stop trying to get more done and instead reset our focus on our own priorities. When we do that, our ideal lives can become our real, everyday lives.”
― Tonya Dalton, The Joy of Missing Out: Live More by Doing Less
