But in having so much suddenly taken away, I was given the gift of seeing what all the busyness was actually costing me. The time when my kid wanted my attention but I was glued to my phone, to some email — so glued that my NO was implicit. I didn’t have to be somewhere else. I was home … and yet I was gone all the same.

Money/gifts contributions etiquette. When it comes to donating money to causes, gifts, or anything else where a lot of people are also pitching in, don’t be shy to ask how much everyone else is contributing. Answer the phone so the caller only needs to say yes or no. Instead of this conversation happening: Me: ’s office.
