[ Buckets ]

Yes,  we know there is more to life than work.  But there’s an awful lot of ‘other stuff’ to pay attention to, other than work, so keeping it all straight can be just like work.

Cal Newport (writer of the books Deep Work, Digital Minimalism, and soon to be published A World Without Email) proposes four ‘buckets’ to life:

·         Community (family, friends)

·         Craft (work and quality leisure)

·         Constitution (health) and

·         Contemplation (matters of the soul)

These categories are good way to narrow down the overwhelm in life.  In each category, commit to doing one valuable thing consistently for that category.
