Deadlines and lifelines

Companies seem to do whatever they can to make people meet deadlines. We even impose deadlines on ourselves. 

A better way might be to follow the energy. Ask ourselves, “what makes us feel alive?” In which direction would there be more life. 

Rather than rigidly pursuing a predetermined output on a predetermined date, what if we were more like plants, attuning to the soil and the sky. Is there more light in a slightly different direction? Is the energy saying “slow down” or “speed up”?
