I haven't lived in a fast-paced Western culture for more than 20 years, but I've noticed much to my chagrin that I still over-load my schedule and I still want to accomplish as much as I can in the hours, days and years I have. "Retirement" has slowed me down a bit, but an 8-month sabbatical in 2018, and the resulting balance and focus and weekly day of rest and reflection has helped me to be more peaceful, influential, and as a result, productive.
