We talk a lot about getting things done – but at what cost? In her latest reflection, Helen Rees shares insights from the Camino de Santiago and a backyard building project, questioning whether our obsession with efficiency is robbing us of meaning.

Life tends to have a way of happening. We take the steps that show up in front of us, develop a routine, get comfortable and soon the pattern we are in sets our days and our lives.
