Have you ever been footsteps away from a window and yet found yourself opening an app or doing a Google search to check the weather, instead of simply going over to the window and opening the curtains? Me too! Why is that?

We are now in the habit of outsourcing our thinking and second guessing our judgement because the right answer is always just a Google search away.

There are so many more demands on our time, we prioritise responding and reacting to other people’s questions and have left very little time to think about what’s important to ask ourselves.

We allow ourselves to be consumed by other people’s lives, thoughts and content to the detriment of living, prioritising and creating our own.

What are your important questions and what could you achieve, in both work and life by choosing to give yourself the space to answer them?
