This is exactly what I'm trying to focus on this year.  No less than the Wall Street Journal agrees that it's time to slow ourselves down a bit.

Given that our days are limited, our hours precious, we have to decide what we want to do, what we want to say, what and who we care about, and how we want to allocate our time to these things within the limits that do not and cannot change. In short, we need to slow down.

- John Freeman from his book "The Tyranny of E-Mail"
