The Anti-Hustle Shelf
In the everyday hustle and rush and the always-on digital mentality, it's good to have the reminder that sometimes the best way to be productive is, in fact, to do nothing at all...Yes, this means you have permission to be easy on yourself. Take a nap. Read a book. Breathe.
These books explain why that's important and help guide you on what you can strike from your to-do list so that you can re-connect with what matters the most.
