Love this reflection! That line about control bringing control, not peace, cuts deep. I've noticed in my own workflow how over-optimizing for efficency can become its own form of stress, almost like the system starts running me instead of the other way around.
An unoptimized life sounds like pure chaos! I like it.

yes! most tangibly, it’s the sleep tracking, health boosting, duolingo streaking systems that start to wear us down. Gamification, really.
