Is There a Time Famine in Your Life?

I think my natural inclination is not necessarily to be happy as a human. I've had to work really hard to engage self-compassion, rather than beat myself up like some mean drill sergeant. One of the things that's been most critical for my own happiness has been remembering the importance of these lessons about time famine. You know, even in the next year, I'm actually planning to take some time off from my duties at Yale and my duties as a head of college just to kind of have a little bit of a break.
