This framing of efficiency as its own kind of burden really nails something thats been bugging me. When every moment becomes an optmization problem, we lose the texture that makes activities meaningful in the first place. I started noticing this when I'd catch myself checking my watch during conversations with friends, basically treating human connection like a transaction to squeeze in before the next thing. The whole "meandering builds different muscles" line is spot on btw, attention to whats actually infront of us is a skill we're collectively forgetting.
Absolutely this! Efficiency can be its own kind of burden and hinder our ability to engage in work or relationships that require our slow, intentional, undivided attention.
