1 quote by Seth Godin on work + detachment
Mindfulness is healthy, it’s professional, and it allows us to be our best self. It is also maddeningly difficult, particularly in a culture that prizes busyness over just about everything else.
But mindful isn’t the opposite of busy.
Mindfulness demands intention. Mindfulness is the practice of simply doing the work. Without commentary, without chatter, without fear.
