Take writing, for example. If I were on a mechanical typewriter, when I make a typo, I'd have to reach for the white-out. Sure, the backspace key is faster, but it's also easier. Flying somewhere is easier than walking there, not just faster. Sure, I can write more, and travel more places, and they can wind up taking just as much work (or at least time). On the other hand, if I have one thing I want to write (my life work, say), then the computer makes my life both easier and faster.
