Not at all. There are periods when I'm required to use a computer/tablet for work or meetings. But most of my activities happen outside the digital space. I'm a diehard skimmer. I preserve my energy for intentional consumption like books, educational programs, etc. For a site like this, my posts take no time to compose. I'm writing as I type. And I type fast (70wpm).
There are charming spots like that on the east coast. Especially New England.
My mother was born and raised in NOLA for a time. They moved here later on.
I don't have the time. I'm running a business, returning to school and preparing to launch a brand when I'm done. I have to design collections and deal with production and clients. In addition to what I'm currently doing and launch future initiatives. As overseer, I have to distribute my time wisely. I don't have to put my hands on everything. I communicate my desires and have the expert execute my wishes. Delegation is a must.
This is a consequence of ownership. I have practical and social responsibilities which come with the position. I won't enjoy the garden any less because I didn't plant every item.
I recall a comment made by former President Bush (W). Someone asked how he handled the things he didn't know. He responded that wasn't his job to know everything. It was theirs (pointing to his cabinet). In other words, they fill in the knowledge gaps.
In like fashion, that's how I feel about getting things done. I don't micromanage or put my hand in every cookie jar. That's ineffective leadership (for my position) and beastly to deal with. I'd run myself ragged.
You mentioned Martha Stewart and that's the uncomfortable reality many encountered who wanted to emulate her life. She wasn't doing it all on her own. Much like the lady of the house, she was the visionary. When people attempted to do the same without assistance, they discovered the unspoken element of her mystique. She has help.
So did the woman in Proverbs 31.
