Multitasking is the drive to be more than we are, to control more than we do, to extend our power and our effectiveness. Such practice yields a divided self, with full attention given to nothing.”
— Walter Brueggemann (Sabbath as Resistance)

Think deeply.
I can’t remember who said that to me as a student, but it has stuck with me. I have found I need time and quiet to do that, so I get up early to read, to think.
Think deeply.
If I am reading my Bible, I read my Bible. If I am listening to a podcast, I listen to the podcast. If I am reading, I read. If I am thinking, I think.
But mostly, I listen. I listen for the voice of God.
And I think deeply.
In his book Deep Work”, author Cal Newport wrote, “The key to developing a deep work habit is to move beyond good intentions and add routines and rituals to your working life designed to minimize the amount of your limited willpower necessary to transition into and maintain a state of unbroken concentration.”
Slow down. Be present. Put down the phone. Take off the headphones. Pause and focus.
Listen to God.
Think deeply.
