Escape chronos through perception. Found myself getting stressed over a tight schedule (here by 11am! here by 2pm! here by 7pm!). Time can easily keep you in your head, in a realm of abstractions. But aesthetic observation puts you back in the body. It’s a frame shifter. As long as you have a decent plan, you can trust it and get out of your head.

New record, the first time I learned the time today was 6:12 pm.
I see time to be directly linked to attention. You can fuse with your surroundings (archaic time), lock into one object (magical time/flow/addiction), orient around events, narrative or cycles (mythical time), or obsess over budgeting hours and minutes (rational time). The idea of escaping rational time and realizing “I am time” is liberating, and
