I am guilty of sometimes trying to cram every moment with activity. I’m working on slowing down. It’s a work in progress. But it’s not that easy. The problem is time greed. I’ll answer one more email before I head out. I’ve just go time to finish this paragraph before I… Does this sound familiar? Microsoft’s message is, “Do more faster.” I am not sure I want to. I want to do less. “Do more faster,” is a good enough message for a machine. You wouldn’t want to buy a new computer if it’s slower than the one you have. But this message does not speak to me. I am a human. Doesn’t it seem like we are living in a culture of speed? In business we are supposed to have a sense of urgency about everything. But constant urgency is madness. It’s neurotic. Action and speed are built-in to our way of life and we, in America, think of them as good things. But some cultures spend a lot more time deliberating before acting.
