In a Rush?


In a Rush? Always feel like you’re in a hurry? Too much to do, not enough time? Most people we know would answer yes to all three of these questions. We think it’s one of the most widespread challenges of our time. This challenge is exactly the reason that we founded Fini Concierge – to provide an option for people to take advantage of, if and when they needed it, with the goal that our clients feel that they have more time and less to do.

We frequently read articles that touch on aspects of this phenomenon – too much technology, work-life balance, working parents, “having it all”, sleep deprivation, the culture of wanting it all, NOW!

I’m a firm believer that life is all about choices. The article “In a Rush? Learn to Ease Hurry Sickness” written by Maggie Jackson appearing in Sunday’s Boston Globe talks about just that…choosing to proactively combat the constant rush of life. Her article touches on the health effects that rushing has on a person. Many of us know too much about the mental and emotional effects that always trying to do too much can have, not to mention the toll on relationships with friends and families.

It’s not an easy life pattern to change but small steps can have a big impact on how you feel every day. Yoga, reading a book (for pleasure, not work!), meditation, locking your cell phone in a drawer for an hour each day or outsourcing…there are lots of choices to help slow down the pace of the internal race we’re running, even if for just a little while.
