Should One of Our Three Wishes from a Genie Be for More Leisurely Pursuits in Life?

Daily writing prompt
You have three magic genie wishes, what are you asking for?

We always find ourselves on the go, likely on a daily basis. And most of us would likely desire to slow things down often. Vacations and weekend day trips are opportunities to pace ourselves and breathe a sigh of relief. Yet those excursions may belie their intended purpose, ultimately requiring hurried actions to ensure a good outcome. To slow things down without waiting until retirement means reconsidering our lifestyle choices and desired amenities that would facilitate a sustained, leisurely existence. The question is whether we’re willing to do without certain superficial wants to achieve this, or simply make a wish.
