Cherishing Slowness of Efficiency

In the last three days, the sequel posts titled "The Efficient Mac", we saw the distinction between efficiency and hard work. Often hard work is celebrated, but efficiency has a certain simpleness to it. This "simpleness", however, should not be confused with "easy". It's not easy to achieve this simplicity. It, in fact, takes a great degree of discipline to achieve this simplicity.

In this simplicity lies a slowness, something that is quite satisfying. It doesn't give instant gratification but gives a deep sense of satisfaction.

Take a moment to realise the distinction between the time when you worked hard and the time when you worked immersed and efficient.
