I could never decide whether I agreed with that, but eventually discovered that ill health and brain fog can distort one's perception of time far more than happiness or lack thereof.<br /><br />In brain fog episodes the brain's time tracking feature seems to get disabled, two weeks can go by in which nothing is accomplished, and when it lifts it can feel like it only lasted a few hours. Protective if nothing else. As my osteopaths remind me, the body does not remember pain, and if it did, we would never heal.Mikehttp://www.moblet.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3275108546936971950.post-78463616499415711492011-06-26T10:24:35.645-04:002011-06-26T10:24:35.645-04:00My grandfather used to say that as he got older th...My grandfather used to say that as he got older the years got shorter, but the hours got longer.<br /><br />Looking back at certain points in my life, not only can I see self-similarity in larger and smaller chunks of time, but I can see time speeding up and slowing down in terms of weeks and months for sure. Not years, but perhaps I am still too young to see those patterns.<br /><br />I'm too new at this to fathom thinking about managing in terms of undefined strands of time, but I look forward to getting to where you are, in terms of random non-linear planning.

Why not extend it to days, weeks, months? As someone accustomed to not knowing what I'll be capable of from day to day, or for how long, I've learned not to place expectations on a single day in the same way you speak of not placing them on a single hour.<br /><br />Also, my lists aren't linear, they are random. There is a list of things to be done within the next day/week/month/year or so, but the priority is determined by my capacity in the moment, not some predetermined sequence.<br /><br />Totally agree with the futility of forcing oneself out of living in the present by trying to conform to a schedule. Rigid schedules are for flexible bodies.Mikehttp://www.moblet.netnoreply@blogger.com
