if you wanna get fast, go slow: how “slow living” is changing a generation.
It´s not a lie that we need to re-take control of our life. This time, it´s real.

Slow is the new fast.
Catchy, right?
But it´s a reality. A must-needed reality. Slowing down is not compromising on results.
Slowing down is choosing the best of results.
Have you ever tried so hard to obtain something, whatever it was, a good grade at school, making that big leap of fear of yours, obtaining a promotion… and failed miserably?
That´s how soul-crushing the productivity definition of our era was up until this exact moment.
We want more. We work more.
Plan more. Do more.
That´s not quite the trick.
We won´t end with more results. Just more anger, frustration, failed steps and overseen problems.
The fastest lane is walking down the slowest lane. Because that´s the route that will make all of our work meaningful every season.
Slow is consciousness.
With AI around the corner, can you really have time to pause and think clearly?
With a sea of over-communication, infinite DM´s and over-reacting groups of friends?
You and I are not so different. We want the same thing: maximize our time… or even better: make it more meaningful.
➯ Slow Productivity, Happy Creatiive, Slow Living… those terms are creating a new culture.
One that obsesses with meaning rather than accomplishments.
We are not talking about how much can you get done in a day.
We are talking about which special experiences you can create and live in a lifetime.
Humans are not robots as you may have seen. So why are you neglecting yourself the chance to go slow for a bit?
The one reason people fail in today´s world is that they stop living and start dreaming.
You can make your reality a beautiful one. Just take it slow. One step at a time.
Make it better,
- Alex.
