Time

Hello Creatives, (Yes, you are a creative too) I have been thinking about how I spend my time, where I take it and where it goes, sometimes without my permission—a lack of schedule and the disruption of a schedule. Some days I feel like I misplaced that lifeboat long ago and need to find it because I’m still living. I am adopting a new meaning for the word schedule—a mock-up of reason and order… thanks to this quote.

How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives. What we do with this hour, and that one, is what we are doing. A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time. A schedule is a mock-up of reason and order—willed, faked, and so brought into being; it is a peace and a haven set into the wreck of time; it is a lifeboat on which you find yourself, decades later, still living.
