Time Is Not Money
Is Busier Best? 
According to journalist Carl Honore, even sex is on a stop watch these days. At the Ted Conference he related a funny story about an article in a British magazine that purported to tell how to satisfy a sexual partner in 30 seconds. Carl considers this a clear sign that "Our speedaholism is out of control, and we all know it." His book In Praise of Slowness advocates getting unstuck from the fast-forward of our speed-obsessed society. If you're rushing to Speed Yoga and Speed Meditation, he suggests a healthier and more productive quality of life alternative - The Slow Movement. Just imagine... seeking to do everything at the right speed. What a notion!Slowing Down in A World of Speed
In this nearly 20 minute video Carl Honore talks about putting the brakes on our all-too-modern lives. It's worth watching. So practice slowing down by taking the time to enjoy it.
