My freedom will be so much the greater and more meaningful the more narrowly I limit my field of action… Whatever diminishes constraint diminishes strength. The more constraints one imposes, the more one frees oneself of the chains that shackle the spirit.

How do I keep this newsletter going when life gets so busy?
