“It’s the journey that’s important, not the destination.”
…sometimes.
The thing is, your whole life is one big journey made of many, many smaller ones. You have finite time to enjoy upon this world. So sometimes it makes sense to get to a destination a little faster, if it opens more time for more enjoyable journeys!
It’s not the “journey” of doing your laundry that’s important, it’s clean laundry. If you can find a faster way to do that so you can have more fun on a hike with your kids, do it!
