When I made the decision to quit my full-time employment, I never thought that I could get involved in an

increasing global trend. I had to leave my relatively high-profile position for an unexpected move that hurt my

pride and prevented me from getting promoted. Yet, I excused my departure by saying “I wanted to spend more

time with my family”.

Curiously

after around two and a half years, my experience in what Americans refer to as “downshifting”

has turned my excuse into an absolute reality. I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of Linda

Kelsey’s “have it all” concept, which she has been promoting for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine,

into a woman who is content to accept a little bit of everything.

I have discovered that abandoning the idea of “juggling your life” and adopting the alternative strategy of

“downshifting” has benefits that go far beyond financial success and social status. Nothing could convince me to go

back to the lifestyle Kelsey used to promote and which I had previously enjoyed: 12-hour workdays, tight

deadlines, the terrifying pressure of office politics, and the demand of being a parent on “quality time”.

After the widespread layoffs ( 裁员 ) brought on by cost-cutting in the late 1980s, America started to move

toward a simpler, less materialistic way of life as a response to the economic downturn. In America, simplifying

one’s life is frequently done for financial reasons, but in Britain, at least among the middle class I know, we have

different motivations for doing so. For the women of my generation who were encouraged to keep juggling,

downshifting is not so much a search for a mythical ( 虚无的) good life—growing your own organic vegetables,

and risking turning into one—as a personal recognition of your limitations.

Like most nerds who read science fiction, I’ve kept wondering how society will greet true artificial
