Grace addresses complex issues such as what to do if your work and your job are connected, provides insights to help you figure out how much is too much, and offers suggestions for making the best use of your time.Essential for everyone who feels overwhelmed and anxious about our hyper-connected world--whether you're a corporate lawyer, a student, a sales person, or a yoga instructor--How to Not Always Be Working includes practical suggestions and thoughtful musings that prompt you to honestly examine your behavior--how you burn yourself out and why you're doing it. A creative manifesto for living better, it shows you how to carve sacred space in your life.From business anecdotes about fulfilling orders to more personal stories about Grace's recovery from divorce and addiction, this book is full of wisdom and resilience, with plenty of discussion about ritual and routine as ways to create effective and positive creative life change.
