It’s really nice when things are easy and effortless. Things like convenience stores, food delivery, concession stands, and even vending machines make getting some of our basic needs a little easier to get. But, there’s a paradox to convenience: they tend to enhance one aspect of our life but take away from another aspect of our life. So, how do we determine whether the convenient option is the way to go? In this episode, Gary and Christy talk about the inconvenience of conveniences, examples of this paradox, and questions to ask ourselves to figure out if conveniences are worth it.
