I too, am someone who at times is very busy, often only allowing myself very little time for tasks as well as the time it takes to get there. This mistake is pointed out to me in a very concise way as Ehrenreich gets to making the climax and main body of her message. When one thinks practically, if a person only allows themselves so much time to complete a wide array of different tasks then they are cutting themselves short on completely mastering said tasks. For me, I need time to make mistakes not once or twice but over and over again until I get it right. It’s hard to achieve 10,000 hours of practice if one can’t even enjoy a meal without “‘grazing’ - the unconscious ingestion of unidentified foods while drafting a legal brief, cajoling a client on the phone and, doing calf-toning exercises under the desk.” With the way the Ehrenreich uses logic to present the readers with her advice in the closing paragraphs it is very easy to take the lesson away from it. We can now see that we spread ourselves too thin with activities to achieve success; furthermore, we conclude that in order to achieve success we may not be giving ourselves the best shot if we don’t allow ourselves the time it takes to refine our skills to do so. Thus, revealing to the readers that one does not have to be busy to be
