…it’s possible to surreptitiously slow down for a handful of months each year without any major consequences.

…at the core of quiet quitting is a pragmatic observation; you have more control than you think over the intensity of our workload.

…sometimes cultivating a natural pace isn’t just about the time you dedicate to a project, but also the context in which the work is completed.

…we shouldn’t underestimate the ability of our surroundings to transform our cognitive reality.

A citadel to creative concentration need not be a literal place. It just needs to be free of laundry baskets.

When seeking out where you work, be wary of the overly familiar.

Once you commit to doing something very well, busyness becomes intolerable.
