Today, we gather to discuss the futility of trying to be efficient. Like, have you ever tried to optimize your sock drawer? It's just a never-ending cycle of folding and re-folding, only to find that the socks are still mismatched.
And don't even get me started on the myth of "Getting Things Done". Like, what even is a "task" anyway? A load of laundry? A bag of chips? It's all just a never-ending sea of tasks and to-do lists.
We're told that being efficient is the key to success, but have you seen the lines at the trendy coffee shop down the street? It's like, 20 people waiting in line for a $5 latte. Is that really the most efficient use of our time?
No, my friends, let us reject the cult of efficiency and just enjoy the journey. Like, let's take a load of laundry and just... fold it when we feel like it. Let's take a bite of that sandwich and just... chew with our mouths.
