Ask HN: Anyone else need to stop and smell the roses?

I always say... it's better to be too busy doing what you love than to have too little to do.

Sometimes, you just need to throw away your laptop and just do nothing. I find that staring at clouds on a cool spring evening can clear your head real fast :-) In fact, it's my best debugging strategy.

I'm always keeping a balance between the two, yes, absolutely.

Sidenote: having reduced your expenses will help you ensure you can feel free to smell the roses whenever you feel the need.

Lets see, stop and smell the roses, I think I've got a user story for that somewhere...I'll move it up in priority, but it'll still be sometime in late May before it gets into a sprint.

Yeah. It's a constant battle. Friends and my wife help remind me when things are getting too crazy. That and the length of my beard. :-)

The beard indeed and the 5 a.m. shadows :-P
