I am now thinking of cutting down my consulting assignments and decisively slowing down my life, to stop hopping from one task to the other like a maniac, and to relish reading books and watching plays, and the company of friends. To those who are ahead of me in this ambitious path, my question is, "What do you.love the most about living a slower life?" Though my work:life balance is reasonably good at the moment, it is not where I would ideally like it to be. There have been months and years in the past when this balance was in the right zone. So I speak from this past experience. What I loved about it? Having long lunches, going for long walks, spending months traveling slowly through a country absorbing the local culture/food/politics, going on long retreats practicing meditation, reading only printed material (nothing online), learning to make (carpentry, electronics, programming, etc.), being more mindful of how I spend money,...
