Antiwork

What has your relationship w/ divesting from convenience culture been like?

As I've started to get deeper into antiwork thinking, I've been reevaluating my relationship with convenience culture. I feel like moving towards a world where we don't need to constantly toil to survive also means understanding that maybe I can't have everything that I want 24/7 at the click of a button. Maybe it's okay to wait for (nonessential) things. Maybe it's okay if the store I thought was going to be open closed early because it was a slow day — I was living in the rural South for much of last year and this wasn't uncommon for some shops.
