the most important thing I do each morning is steady myself by not allowing a sense of urgency to penetrate. Every once in a while I find myself in a spin cycle of urgency—a sense of internal panic that the list of things to do is lengthening no matter how hard I try to control it. But I learned long ago (even though I occasionally forget!) that this sense of urgency is nearly always illusory. I am more productive when I am not operating with urgency.
