enough

It’s impossible to be satisfied with your efforts if the goal is to accomplish everything in a world where there will always be one more thing you could do. 
There will always be one more thing. 

One more message you could respond to, one more problem you could solve, one more meeting you could have. 

One of the most underrated skills a person can have is a willingness to leave some things on the table, to leave some problems unsolved, to leave some to-dos unchecked — to be able to say at some point during the day: “enough.” 

When you declare enough, you give yourself permission to fully throw yourself into something else that you value — your hobbies, your connections with others.

Saying enough is about compromise, and sometimes that’s exactly what we need to protect our sanity, our values, and ultimately our well-being.
