   We live in a society where " time is money " and not allowed to squander a single second in allegedly unproductive... issues like enjoying a sunset. We feel guilty if the weather is not properly used or profitable. We brought home work and sacrifice weekends to "get the earrings." To charge rentals with the personal computer for further work.
   
   A few months ago, the book In Praise of Slowness, the Canadian journalist Carl Honoré was published in several countries. In the author's opinion, it is good to stop to rest, reflect on the speed at which we run and ask: is it worth wear us both?
   
   Honoré talks about the pitfalls that often fall because of our almost chronic lack of time:
   
   • Running. There is a kind of universal contagion do a thousand things at once and always busy. Hurry and ensure that time " we can not afford " is well seen; suspect who boast that you have time.
   
   • Remove rewarding activities. If we have to eliminate some of our busy schedule, we opted to remove always pleasurable activities. We fear the word and ended up postponing LEISURE coffee with friends or ride we both want. If we remove what we like, our mood suffers.
   
   • Do not make a dent to order and plan our activities. Says an anonymous phrase, " No order as to gain time to teach." The day should be planned so that the day is us loose to make room for the unexpected. A good tip is to write down the day's tasks by level of difficulty (start with the farthest away from home, or thinking about traffic find) and not saturate the agenda of the day because sÃ_, we gain in frustration.
   
   • Do not stop to think. Meet all our "obligations" and in itself is stressful. It is worthwhile to pause in our hectic lives and question: " is a self-imposed obligaciÃ_no? ". The obsession with cleanliness, to be always well DeMaso not know how to say "NO" on time.
   
   So, the next time you rush corrode, will accelerate the speed pulse or urgency put you on the edge of a nervous breakdown,stop!, Breathe deeply and think that, indeed, the time, " your " time is very valuable as gold.
