Two totally different topics: how a long work day is leading me to change my relationship to time; El Niño/storm vs sea myth.
The prospect of working eleven hours daily at a decent job is causing me to naturally want to “structure my time more intentionally/efficiently.” The vast majority of advice on time management is but the masturbatory hypocricy of charlatans. I don’t know what words to use for my instinct to rearrange how I act in time when busy, except those that are bastardized by the “success gurus.” It’s not that I’m against “wasting time” or being idle. That has been the dominant position for a long time, even if there are cultures and people who aren’t so callous about their time, who value leisure, the “dominant” cultures/people are heavy on the side of structuring time.
