As daughter of Allen Funt who created the Candid Camera TV show, Juliet spent a lifetime observing the hidden truths beneath our social selves.<\/p>\n<p>\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We need to create \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhite space\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 on our calendars,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Juliet states. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153White space that allows us time to daydream, to take advantage of life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s simple moments.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Research has shown that daydreaming or allowing the mind to wander actually helps us be more creative, more productive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/\/funt21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3565\" title=\"funt2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/\/funt21.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/funt21.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.namablog.org\/images\/funt21-235x300.jpg 235w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a>So how do we create calendar \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwhite space?\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 By blocking off time just for us. And to do this, we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll need to either do fewer things, or do some things less well. Juliet admits this may be difficult for most people, especially since we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve been programmed to do more and more, better and better. Yet, there are certain projects that, frankly, no one will really notice how well they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re done. Or if they get done at all.<\/p>\n<p>Juliet\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s presentation pulled from a wealth of stories \u00e2\u20ac\u201c both personal and gathered from friends, family and business relationships.
