Happy Sunday, Reader!

Greetings from Sheboygan, where I am grateful for all the buzz the "Feeling Lucky" promotion generated this past week. Thanks to everyone who placed an order, and congrats to Julie McGuigan, who won the original "Carry On" painting. :)

Here’s an interesting tidbit:

Oops.

If we're honest, we probably do get twice as much done in 20 hours today as we did in 40 hours in 1965. And it’s possible that 50 years from now, we will have figured out how to get just as much done as we do today in half the time.

The question is, will we finally give ourselves permission to not drive ourselves so hard? To devote more time to the people and causes we care about the most?

I think we all know the answer to that.

My friend John works in Chicago. He leaves his house before six in the morning so he can beat the worst of the traffic. He told me that at that hour, if you’re not going 80 or 90 miles per hour, you’re liable to get run off the road. The police don’t stop anyone because, frankly, everyone’s doing it, and they know it's likely to make the congestion even worse.

Ninety miles an hour doesn’t feel that fast when everybody’s doing it.

It feels normal, even.

Indeed, it’s always been and always will be easier and more convenient to just go with the flow. But that doesn’t mean the flow is the best place to reside.

In fact, the flow can take you in the opposite direction of where you really want to be.

Beware the flow.

What's an area of your life where you can find yourself sucked into the "flow?" And do you have a tip for getting out of it? Share your thoughts with me, join the conversation in the Escape Adulthood League, or spend time this week recording them in your journal.

Stay young and stay fun,
