Optimization

SEND VOICEMAIL BACK :):) We optimize everything. Our protein, sleep, steps, time, emails, work, relationships, even our rest has to somehow make us more productive. But somewhere between efficiency and self improvement, have we started treating ourselves like machines that are permanently underperforming? This episode is about the things that don’t optimize well: getting lost, being embarrassing, wasting time, having weird interests, doing things with absolutely no ROI, and those tiny imperfect moments that remind you there’s an actual person underneath all the performance. Maybe the goal isn’t to stop optimizing. Maybe it’s remembering that efficiency is a tool, not the point of being alive.
