I was at our dress rehearsal for DisruptHR today, and listened to a woman speak about recognizing what is valuable in a day and being concerned with its quality, not in how much we got done. Alignment.

This makes me think of what the ancient prince Hezekiah wrote:

"I rejoice over these reminders more than over all OTHER valuable things." This from a guy who could pretty much have anything he wanted.

Oh David, my coffee and homemade carrot cupcake was more satisfying while reading your contemplation. I wrote this is my journal:

I am amazed at what we have at our fingertips; we can access data & information in seconds that years ago would take months to collect. Have our choices improved? Or are they more urgent, or demanding of speed? Our age of knowledge might be butting heads with the age of choice.

I still admire one of my long-past heroes: Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. He led his team with the mantra “Less is more.” I believe that helps make a better life. Is anyone with me?

Well-aligned. Something about the German design aesthetic speaks nicely to our time. Less is more…less but better.

“Our age of knowledge might be butting heads with the age of choice.” that sparked some thinking as well.

“Less but better” - Amen. I can attest to this. Once I tried to improve the QUALITY of things in my life while reducing the QUANTITY in my life everything got better.
