ABOUT THE ART OF PACING
A guide to balancing hustle and leisure so you can make meaningful progress on what matters most, without burning out.
Many of us struggle to live a well-paced life and find ourselves perpetually oscillating between two extremes: intense effort and lethargy. At one extreme, we jump headfirst into big, critical projects, only to end up burned out. At the other extreme, we get sucked into black holes of social media scrolling and Netflix binging and fall far behind on our goals.
Science writer Elizabeth Svoboda's The Art of Pacing explores how navigating the full range of the pace spectrum, not just the furthest ends, can transform the way you reach your goals. Blending memoir, cutting-edge psychology research, and interviews with Olympic athletes and entrepreneurs, Svoboda artfully uncovers the nuances of pacing so you can effectively balance ambition and rest, making subtle pace adjustments with ease.
This class will take place in-person at our Center for Creative Writing in Boston's Seaport neighborhood.
