i have been consciously trying to do things more slowly, things that encourage slowness and hanging out, noticing, etc. the frenetic pace we’re all encouraged to keep up is defeating and i don’t like how quickly it makes my days go. i’m doing something the inefficient way today!!!!!
I'm also in the process of learning to take things slowly. Having left a hectic workplace for a new job where goals are achieved over the very long term, I can already say that it will be a long learning curve. And that’s good.
The other day I watched a tiktok on how to easily de-seed a pomegranate and the person said “this should only take 3-4 minutes, there’s no need to be in a rush, why do you feel the need to do this in 45 seconds? are you that busy” and thats really stuck with me— you can just take it easy most of the time
you don't really have to be efficient all the time. time management is a great skill to have, but sometimes it feels way better to slow down and take longer to do simple activities. the next time you need to go to the grocery store for just a few things, try to turn that 20 min trip into 2 hours instead! it's way more fun that way
