Carl Honoré, author of In Praise of Slow, was a guest of Christine Louise Hohlbaum at the blog “The Power of Slow”. Carl offered ten tips on how to slow down the pace of your life. Here is that top-10 list:
- Downsize your calendar.
- Question your inner speed demon.
- Take up a slow hobby.
- Stop clock-watching.
- Rediscover the joys of the table.
- Take a walk.
- Meditate.
- Consider an alternative approach to your health.
- Vacation slowly.
- Turn it off.
It is comforting to know that I do about half of these. For more details on each of these points, you can read the interview here.

I started working at home so I could slow down a little and still make a decent living. Since then mu little grandbaby comes to visit more often, my parents need me more, and my youngest son started college about 100 miles away and I take him there and back twice a week. So much for slowing down, I’m busier than ever! I do get more time for solitude though and it seems to help balance things out.
