Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
How about remembering this quote by Lin Yutang the next time we get mad at ourselves for not doing something. How about feeling good about whatever it was we left undone instead of suffering bouts of guilt for all those things we should have done.
It seems that we spend too much time on thinking about those things we could have done differently, instead of focusing on our essential goals and how to achieve them. S>ometimes leaving something undone can be part of a wider success - instead of thinking about ten things at once, we can dedicate all our energy to one thing that really matters, and try to give it all our effort. That's just a thought.
