Finding time to think and plan your life

Thinking-time facilitates thoughtful big-picture solutions. It's also calming and gives us additional control over our life.

• While walking the dog, on a hike, or while commuting.
• Waiting for the elevator, at a doctor’s office, in the supermarket line.
• When bored instead of eating or turning on the TV.
• Just before going to bed or when you first wake.
• When you get home from work or on a weekend morning.
