Summary

What does it truly mean to truly disconnect? Celeste Headlee, author of: “Do Nothing: How To Break Away From Overworking, Overdoing, And Under-living,” tells us how we can all stop sabotaging our well-being and start living instead of doing. In order to fully decompress, we have to distance ourselves from technology, and examine whether we might be suffering from the “busy-ness” delusion — we are not as busy as we think we are. Celeste breaks down the tactical changes needed to bring us closer to our big life goals. In Mailbag, saving for college, filing for bankruptcy, and the best budgeting tools on the market.
