Gaps between activities allow our minds to reopen, expand and have original, often time-and-effort-saving big ideas. So don’t walk with your head down, lost in thought. Don’t just text and call folks when you’re driving or waiting. Don’t read the newspaper when you’re in the bathroom. Allow a little space in your life. Let go of one or two minutes of entertainment a day – and look out upon this life and world.

Great reminder. I tend to fire up Netflix or YouTube when I find some down time. I need to stop that and look around for natural entertainment.
If I don’t do this, I will often awaken in the early morning hours with a need to be still and mindful. Time well spent.
