THE MYTH OF EFFICIENCY
We are told that multitasking will allow for us to complete more tasks in less time.We are told that efficiency is paramount in work culture. That more is more, not less is more.
That fast is efficient, that fast is competitive, that fast is sexy, that fast means mighty.
For what, though?
Fast Magick and Slow Magick
There’s fast magick, and there’s slow magick. Both have their functions - much like our two thinking faculties. I love the intuitive and emotional aspects of fast magick, and I also love the more deliberative, patient, and thorough power of slow magick. The slower build ups, deeper roots, sturdier with its layers as it grows above ground, more anchored in, immovable by pointless urgency — these remind me of the overlooked capacity of slow, and how slowness is a gift. Another comparison— magick and love — there’s loving fast, and there’s loving slow— and of course, love is a current that magick accesses. Relishing in slowness now.
