“Paradoxical as it may seem, modern industrial society, in spite of an incredible proliferation of labor-saving devices, has not given people more time to devote to their all-important spiritual tasks; it has made it exceedingly difficult for anyone, except the most determined, to find any time whatever for these tasks.” ~ E.F. Schumacher
“The goal of much that is written about life management is to enable us to do more in less time. But is this necessarily a desirable goal? Perhaps we need to get less done, but the right things. ~ Jean Fleming

Vicki, I really liked this: “Perhaps we need to get less done, but the right things.”
On a day when I’ve been playing catch-up (after a week’s worth of flu), this was right on target! Maybe I should contact you right before I clean out my closets. You have a great storehouse of inspirational quotes!
