just found this piece about how we way too much importance on being busy. it traces back to when everything was slow, like using
pagers and fax machines for everything. now that the internet is basically integrated into our nervous systems, we just expect more output 24/7. it makes me think we've traded the beauty of inefficiency for a constant state of burnout.
maybe being "slow" was actually the secret to not losing your mind. do you guys feel like the ability to work from anywhere has just made us
permanently tethered to our desks?
