Today, and the rest of this week, is disrupted. Time set aside, apart. Sae is over from Germany and we are working together on the Planetary Philosophy book.
That’s all we’ve done today: sitting in coffee shops, and at the big table, talking it through, trying out ideas, and often just writing our own pieces, but sharing a space.
These times are very valuable, productive, but not ‘normal’. Normally we are busy, distracted, tied up with real life and real work. These times are valuable precisely because they are so rare.
Use your sixty seconds today to consider time that is set aside: each day for coffee, or lunch, or special days, like birthdays, or shared holidays, or hack events, conferences, off site meetings, graduations, school plays, or launch dates.
Use this as a reflection on how time is partitioned, controlled, stolen, or treasured.
