Description:

Ignoring time is a little idea I’ve been playing around with recently.

Interesting conversations starts on Sunday! Listen to the trailer here.

  • I recently read The Big Leap, and it talks about a concept that we create our own time
  • Einstein time - an idea I still don’t fully understand
  • The problem with always paying attention to time:
    1. Pressure to get things done
    2. We always feel like we’re running out of time
  • This problem somewhat disappears when we try and ignore time
  • I’ve found this the most helpful when I’m really rushed for time: particularly on a morning
  • I’ve been trying to ignore the time and just do the things I need to get done
  • So instead of thinking “I only have 20 minutes to complete X”, I instead think “I have to complete X, no matter how long it takes”
  • I’ve also been trying to drop the idea of “I haven’t got time to do X”, trying to remove it from my vocabulary
  • Instead, I say: “I didn’t get that done.” OR “I didn’t want to do it”
  • It wasn’t time’s fault I didn’t get it done, it was my fault for not wanting to do it.
  • That’s why when you really need to do something for the day after, you’ll somehow manage to squeeze it in.
  • I’m still exploring the idea, but I thought it’s worth sharing. It has more power that it seems to have at first, once you become aware of how much time we spend worrying about time
