I love this post, Morganne! Time is tricky – for me, it usually passes so quickly that when I realize it's gone, I'm unsure where it went. Because I'm not so great at keeping track of it, I find I have to block time for myself to *not* do anything before I have to go do something, lest I get distracted and run late 😅 To your question of a world not dictated by time, I think it would free me from a lot of anxiety. I like to live in the moment, and I'd like to be able to do so for as long as I like. Keeping time makes me feel like I'm rushing from one thing to the next (perhaps I should add Oliver Burkeman's book to my TBR!).
Thanks for your thoughtful comment, Lauren! Your relationship to time sounds similar to my partner's, whereas I feel like I've always got an eye on it yet also run late. It's such a funny thing, huh?
Yesss definitely recommend the book, it's very freeing! I actually listened to the audiobook for most of it and only read a chapter or two physically, so I am curious how physically reading the whole thing again would feel. (Btw—it seems you and I are inadvertently giving each other loads of book recs lol. 🤓)
It really is! Seems to prove that times is indeed a construct haha
I love a good audiobook! Though I agree it's a different experience to listen versus read. Sometimes I alternate to get the best of both worlds and be hands-free when I need to be haha
We do indeed! I meant to tell you that I read Joyful and pretty much highlighted the whole thing!
Wow now I know why I am always late as well.
Glad it's not just me. 🫠💛

Oh my gosh Lauren, that makes me so happy! 🤗 so glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you for this reminder! I was laughing out loud remembering the initial offering of broken watches. What a symbol it became!!
Haha yes, a fond memory :)
Btw—I'm planning on attending your and Leslie's talk at Powell's next week, looking forward to saying hi!
