The world is changing faster than ever. Or at least, I assume it is. It could just be my perspective. It's not every year that I get married, move to a new state, start a new job, and have a baby.

But maybe it's not just me. Maybe the gradual change has decided enough with the slow and steady.

Now it seems that everyone's lives are moving faster and faster and becoming fuller and fuller. So much so that there has been an entire movement starting to go against the tide.

Blogs like Leo Babauta's Zen Habits and Mnmlist are some of the more mainstream expressions of this sentiment.

People's lives are changing faster than ever, and now is the time to slow things down before it gets out of control.
