What busy experts call life's best decision
Connection Regret·All ages
Cornell researchers asked successful professionals about time with their children. Those who missed it regretted it; those who manufactured the time called it the best decision of their lives. One doctor cleared all of Thursday afternoon — declined meetings, went to his child's school. After retiring he said, "I could write the paper again. That Thursday never came back." Time with family isn't found. It's built.
The experts who missed out on spending time with their children regret it, and those who creatively manufactured time together regard it as the best decision they ever made.
