Can I quote you on that? “Why can’t we say, ‘we’re gonna get less done, and that’s okay’?” Jacey “Where we go wrong with efficiency is placing it as the highest value.” Maggie “You’re not a machine. You’re human, and may we never lose touch with our humanity.” Jacey “In the stark compartmentalization of work and play, we lose the opportunity to find joy in the work and joy in the process of getting things done.” Maggie “There’s not a shortcut for everything. There’s not a life hack for staying in love with someone, or forgiveness or vulnerability.” Jacey Links: This episode is brought to you by Prep Dish, the company that helps you shop once, prep once, and enjoy healthy, stress-free meals all week! Start your free two week trial today.
