What would you say to me if I told you that you don’t have to be at work by 8 am, but rather that you have to be at work tomorrow?What if I told you that your alarm clock is going to be reconfigured to only display days, and not specific times?
Would you sleep better?
Or what if your clock card was to have days, not digits, on its’ face? Would your concept of time be altered?
If your meetings schedules were week specific, how would you feel?
Would you abandon
man-made minute, if you could? You probably would, and with little reluctance and regret.
The remaining seasons and their finite hours would still supply exact same amount of time, but any approach to it would change. Minute to minute hysteria would disappear.
Imagine calendar with fewer pages, digital watch that couldn’t work, having no digits. The extraordinary clock views that offered a time/reference point, and time saved by not having to view them.
Placing a freshly kneaded loaf into oven, and taking it out, whenever, or in summer due to uncomfortable, elevated kitchen temperature.
Or, absence of queues and gridlock, where there would be no hurry to go nowhere. The time would be same but speed and urgency would attenuate to nothing.
The microwave bell, synchronized to moon phase, even. Wouldn’t that be a pleasant ideology, whatever about a compromised “baked Alaska”?
The pre-Christmas sales rush, replaced by a more even-tempered and annual-wide, nut gathering experience.
The 7/11 re-worded to “Open during day, all season”.
Primitive and modern “egg-timers” would need re-engineering, with more glass and more sand. Hydraulic assistance may be needed to set it, though! The time we made has left us short and only constant is its absence.
