Definitely one of pg&#x27;s simplest and most enduring essays - it resonated with me in 2009, and I continue to reference it (most recently while delivering a presentation to business owners yesterday morning).<p>There&#x27;s a direct analogy (I believe) with the concept of Fast paced &#x2F; Slow paced behavioural preference some of my business and health colleagues have developed [1]. I find that process (and there&#x27;s an online indicator that can score you) fascinating because it looks at Maker&#x2F;Manager (Slow&#x2F;Fast) time for Leisure, Nutrition, and Exercise as well as Business. I&#x27;m quite consistently the Slow&#x2F; Maker&#x27;s Schedule in all areas of my life, but work with some people who are opposite between Work and Home as a form of life balance.<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.shirlawscompass.com&#x2F;pacefaq" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.shirlawscompass.com&#x2F;pacefaq</a>
