"Or maybe we are. Because when you’re staring at a to-do list that seems five thousand items long, and the dog needs walking, and your unfinished manuscript is weighing on you, maybe what you really need is to meditate.


"In front of classic Star Trek.


"On the couch.


"With a blanket over your head.


"And a box (two?) of Cheez-Its.


"I can tell you from recent experience that this is not 'mindful' or 'productive' behavior. And yet, it is highly necessary."




Is finding balance a struggle for you, too? What strategies do you employ? Do they work? Do they involve Cheez-Its? Leave a comment to let us know.
