After living incredibly high paced life, I became one of those people who is obsessed with low paced life and work indeed. In the end I came to realise that I enjoy living in a place where I get to set the pace of my life and work regardless of whether it is considered high/low paced compared to some other place or people.

I think both strictly low/high paced work and life situations are quite dysfunctional for almost the same reasons; obsession with “culture”, rigid thinking, lack of curiosity for alternatives, lack of imagination and trying to gain (or not loose) something at all costs.

So for me the right place is the one that gives everyone a dial to adjust speed both for their life and work.

So where I live I have access to both digital and manual options to handle my official business. Not because country is stuck in transition, but there are different options available for different needs across population. I can work extra hours if I commit to a goal to get promoted or I can coast and focus on other things while other people get a chance to hit the gas pedal. Life feels like an improvised waltz with strangers, and I like it this way.

PS: I refrained from giving names to places, as I am convinced it doesn’t matter. Find the place that gives you all things I mentioned.
