🐇 Speed Up or Slow Down 🐢?

Everyday there is some new advancement in productivity or convenience.

AI, Apps, 10X Approaches and new Devices that let you to do something in seconds that may have taken you minutes, hours or days before.

The big question to ask ourselves is will we use these advances to slow down and use our precious time on things that are of high quality and bring us and others joy and fulfillment.  Or will we use it to go faster, go bigger and get more done?

For Example:

Will you use Chat GPT to process more email in an hour, or to be more thoughtful in what is really being communicating in each email?

Will you UBER to safely and comfortably get to and from the symphony or concert, or will you use it to hop quickly between numerous clubs in an evening to try and get them all in?

I suspect the answer is it depends on the situation, context usually always matter.  I just hope we are doing it with intention, not by default and skewing towards slowing down to experience life while it happens as opposed to just a race to the end.
