Leave some white space In publication layouts, white space is an important design element. Instead of being a wasted area, it actually provides visual relief for readers. A similar concept applies to a family calendar. How much white space do you leave in each little square? With a fast-paced, nowhite-space life, relationships suffer. But when you allow your schedule to slow down, leaving openings for adventure, spontaneity and down-time, family members can grow closer to one another.

One day a newspaper reporter approached him and said, Mr. Kipling, somebody calculated that the money you make from your writings amounts to more than $100 a word. The reporter pulled out a $100 bill out of his pocket, gave it to Kipling and said, Here, now give me one of your hundred-dollar words. Kipling looked at the money, put it in his pocket and said, Thanks!
