Slow down to go faster: the power of pause with Carl Honore #129

Rushing through life isn’t the same as living it. In this conversation, Paul sits down with author and speaker Carl Honoré—often called the evangelist of the Slow Movement—to unpack how “doing things at the right speed” unlocks better work, deeper relationships, and a saner mind. They explore monotasking vs. multitasking, why walking is a superpower, simple rituals that calm a frantic nervous system, and the surprising link between slowing down and aging boldly. Key Takeaways Monotask to go faster: One thing at a time = fewer mistakes, better results. Set tech boundaries: Kill notifications; you choose when to engage. Adopt micro-rituals: 5 minutes of breath, walking, or sketching resets your day. Listen to the body: Fatigue, fog, and forgetfulness are red flags to slow. Nature heals speed addiction: Green time sharpens focus and reduces stress.
