When I read Alan Noble’s You Are Not You Own last fall, I was reminded afresh of why being human feels so exhausting. (If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it.) One of the areas Noble explored in the book was the way that society teaches us that we should always be striving for efficiency and improvement in our lives. This section still causes me to think about the way that technique and efficiency drive much of my daily life. How can I get the most done in the least amount of time? What actions can I take to improve my life so that I produce more?
