Reminds me of Bodil Jönsson's "Ten Thoughts About Time" where she mentions we should learn

to accept that we don’t think any faster today than a hundred years ago or a thousand years ago. "Technology promises instant results, cell phones, and computers should give us the leisure we crave, but the speed of society increases to match the savings, and we end up running harder to stay in the same place."

Thank you for sharing!! If we switch up the perspective, sometimes the shortcut is the long way around. Scope really matters. I’ll have to look more into Jönsson’s thoughts on time!

I don’t remember who did, but someone said “you can’t produce a baby in one month by getting 9 women pregnant”.

The visual Zettelkasten reminded me of the adage, "9 women can't make a baby in a month."
