"The key...is to develop two practices. First, systematically build pockets of solitude into your life. We all have no more than twenty-four hours in a day, and they will be chewed up unless you deliberately structure time for solitude, inserting some "white space" in your calendar. White space does not mean vacation; it simply means nothing scheduled....time scheduled with yourself, honored as you would any other vital appointment. The second discipline is to recognize unexpected opportunities for solitude and seize them....an unexpected life change...or...in a more pedestrian form. What do you do when stuck in traffic or with an unexpected flight delay?"
