Less Speed

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how things are happening too fast? Too much to do at the same time? It could be homework, it could be research, house chores, or all of the above at the same time. Why are we so obsessed with speed and agility in everything?

So can we find a way to slow down the information overload while still having the ability to perform well?
