Convenience is seductive, and we trade precious things away for it all the time.
Part of the reason it dominates our lives is that we only consider the cost once. After that, it continues to remind us of the benefits–the time and hassle and decisions we save.
But convenience can cost us. Our humanity, our health, our well-being, our connection to others and to what we truly care about.
Even if it’s a habit, it might be worth reminding ourselves of what we’ve given up in exchange.
“Work worth doing” is another way to say inconvenient.
