We were inspired recently by GOOD magazine and ReadyMade's list of ways to slow down in life, whether cooking, eating, building, or creating. It's sort of a random list devoted to the Art of Slow. Some of their ideas are projects to help you cultivate laziness (build a dumpster pool for the weekend, make an indoor stoop); others are tips and insights into ways you can simply reduce and relax…
