Are You Racing Against Time?

September 2, 2021 | Renée Fishman

What is your relationship with time?

One of the participants in the current cohort of The Ritual Revolution shared that he relates to time as a competitor. He described racing against time to get things done.

Beat the clock.

I know that contest well. In college, I wrote every paper the night before.

If it weren’t for the last minute, nothing would get done.

This might be my defining signature.

The adrenaline boost whips my brain into a state of focus.

In the immediate aftermath I feel a high, but the inevitable crash comes swiftly and forcefully. The race is depleting.

What if it’s not necessary?

What if time weren’t our adversary, but our ally in the trenches of doing our work?

What if time were the steadfast supporter and cheerleading companion on the path of getting things done?

What if time were on your side?

We can change our relationship with time at any time.

racing against time
an unnecessary game
time is on your side
