I like this idea of "composure" rather than many people's approach as a kind of productivity or life-hacking. Composure makes me take a deep breath and pause--great reminder of how to approach the work.

Thank you! Yes, I'm a tad disillusioned with the life-hacking discourse in general. I feel composure at a very fundamental level allows us to reflect rather than react. :)

Beautifully put. And yes, I feel the same about life-hacking. Took me a long time to figure out why it bugs me so much; I think it's about the self-centric approach. That is, how to optimize my own life for my own success, rather than how to live most fully partly in order to better be present for the rest of life.
