My coach once told me, “run fast or run slow, but not in between”. Run fast when to work on speed, improve strength, or feel like a bird (his words). But run slow for everything else. This is the only sustainable way.

I think a similar thing applies to life. We should either focus fully to get things done, or work leisurely to appreciate the beauty and nature of it all.

A moderate, default zone is when you are neither working nor relaxing – a great mode to let life pass you by.
