Episode 248 - You Don't Need to Fill the Gap

from Lighter than You Started · host Keith Budden

A gentle Saturday reflection on our tendency to immediately fill small pockets of spare time with phones, jobs, entertainment or something useful. This episode explores the possibility that not every gap in the day needs a purpose, and that small moments of empty time can provide valuable breathing room.Key Themes Empty space  Rest  Attention  Technology  Slowing down Listener TakeawayNot every spare minute needs to become productive or entertaining. Allowing an occasional gap to remain empty can give your attention room to wander, rest and simply experience the space between one thing and the next.Daily ThinkSometimes we don't need to create more space. We just need to stop filling the space we already have.
