On This Episode:

We've always believed that innovation was suppose to make our lives easier. Every round of new tech and ideas was suppose to free us from the ever-increasing daily grind we call life or at least, our work life. Ideally, innovation and progress should lighten our load and give us more time for the things that truly matter. We want to believe that, don’t we? After all, who wouldn't want to work less and live more for themselves? But the reality is that instead of freeing up our work schedules, innovation has often pushed us into deeper, more demanding work. We thought that our new inventions would save us, but they actually created new kinds of labor and the weight of that is never getting any lighter. Every breakthrough seems to come with a whole new set of responsibilities and expectations. What we’ve been led to believe is progress is, in many ways, just more layers of complexity. Take a moment to think about this because this happens every time with the latest tech, or the newest app, or the hottest productivity hack: each one of those things promises to help us be more efficient, save up on time, and to simplify our processes. But in practice, we may be more efficient, but we also just end up working harder, faster, and smarter just to keep up with the bar of expectations that never seems to relent and instead it just keeps rising higher and higher. We’re stuck a hustle that grows more difficult with each passing moment, even as we’re surrounded by more tools than ever before.
