Do you feel stressed, overworked, like youre running on empty? Are you caught in the race to get it all done—with little time to enjoy the rewards life has to offer?
Theres no doubt about it: these days we are just too busy. With the conveniences of technology, were compelled to get more done in less time and end up constantly striving for the next thing - rarely stopping to consider if its something we even want.
