Sketchnote of "Simplify to Amplify: How Slow Living Enriched My Soul" by Santhosh Tuppad at Agile Testing Days 2025 Sketch figure with speech bubble: "Everyone has their own definition of slow living" This is my own story I am many things - but above all I am human and that is enough My slow living is about harmony with people and life myself I'm living without constantly checking the clock Eating and drinking slowly without guilt or apology Working with mindful intention rather than urgency I listen to my heart Sketch figure with speech bubble: "It is the simplicity of doing less but being fully present in what I do" I thought testing and hacking is my passion - but life itself is Insight, circled like a cloud: When we constantly ruminate - when do we live our life? Slow living means I don't get anxious, I'm in the moment I don't punish myself if things don't happen I live entirely by the heart: no fixed routines, just the dance of life in each passing moment No regret, no obligation Moving at my own pace, I flow with life I don't want to make money, I want to live a fulfilled life If tomorrow I choose differently and I vibrate with that, I will follow that This is what I do - if you have to care for someone it might be different Insight, framed: I am making a choice with my lifestyle Sketchnote author: @lisihocke@mastodon.social
