In our ever shortening of our time spent on anything: texting rather than a call; abbreviations instead of words; starting an email by just stating your business, without a Hello.
The new boundaries minimize the time we spend on anything. Supposedly all the minimizing is to ensure we can use our time for what really matters.
And are you getting to what really matters?
I am grieving the absence of things like ‘Hello’, whole words, and attention to small things.
The small things are starting to add up. It’s a big pile of, “This no longer matters”.
Somewhere buried in the discard pile is also the signal, “You no longer matter.”
I’m going to buck the trend, I’m bringing back attention to small things.
Attending to the small things has a large impact on relationships. Connecting and tuning into each other has more value to me than saving time.
