Why Creating Margin Matters
High performers often crave more margin but don’t know it. We’re not just talking about squeezing in time for hobbies (though that’s essential too). We’re talking about breathing room in your life—time to rediscover who you are, to simply exist without the constant demands pulling you in every direction. Think about it: without margin, we tend to fill every moment with another task until we inevitably crash and burn. Where’s the joy in that?
