Each of us - I suggest to you - must find “pockets of peace”. Times for what I call “The 3 Ss”: Silence, Solitude and Stillness. At least, find some time (say 15 minutes a day) to be quiet. Think. Reflect. Be. That best practice will make you soooo much better at work, at home, with self.

Some practical strategies:

- When you are in your car/in a taxi, keep the all off. Use that time to renew. To observe. To introspect.

- Take 15 minutes before you sleep to immerse yourself in peace. Just chill. Get comfortable with no noise. Get comfortable with yourself.

- Make your home a sanctuary. It's a wild world (jungle?) out there. Create a deeply peaceful home environment. Reduce clutter. Cut back on the noise. Get one of those mobile water fountains.

- Take a daily vow of silence. This one isn't just for monks. It's for smart execs, entrepreneurs, businesspeople. Big idea here: talking consumes a ton of energy. I can't believe how much some people talk. All day long. On their mobiles. At the water cooler. On the train home. Exhausting just watching them. Be silent for 15 minutes a day (at the very least). You'll have more energy. More peace. More joy. Better performance.

So chase - no, hunt peace down. Fight the noise. Get away from the maddening crowds - at least for a bit. You'll be glad you did
