Within the Storm
John Maeda: “This week is potentially the busiest week of my life. There’s good busy, and there’s bad busy. I think this week qualifies as worst busy. Within the storm, I sat within the eye for a few minutes yesterday. I was leading a session on how the tenure system works at MIT with my colleague Prof. David Mindell. At this meeting, David shared his three secrets to life:
- Take 24 uninterrupted hours of rest per week.
- Don’t travel as it wastes time.
- Say ‘no’ to meetings often.”
