Day 24: White space is not laziness

When my schedule is empty,
I sometimes feel a bit restless.

I wonder if I could
do something during this time.
Wouldn't it be better
to add more work?

Thinking that way,
I end up filling my schedule.

Before I know it, my day
is packed
with meetings and tasks.

However,
working without any white space
gradually
increases my fatigue.

When my schedule is packed,
I lose time to think.

I end up making decisions
while being chased by the next appointment.

If that continues,
even though my work is increasing,
I feel less and less
like I am moving forward.

Time for white space
is not time spent doing nothing.

It is time to think.
Time to organize.
It is time to prepare for what comes next.

Rather than packing my schedule,
I should leave a little white space.

That way,
work will proceed
more calmly.

White space
is not laziness.

It is an essential buffer
for working long-term.
