There Is No More Or Less Time | Don't Let Your Attention Slide

Three years removed from those eerie and strange days of the early pandemic, one thing that strikes us is how much time we seemed to have then. People were picking up hobbies, slow cooking elaborate meals on the groceries they could get. People found their jobs that used to keep them late at the office could be finished in a couple hours. People were reading philosophy and zipping through books. There was no business travel, no long days on the road. The days blurred into each other, but there seemed to be infinite space for chatting with friends and family over Zoom, catching up on TV series we missed.

It was the best of times. It was the worst of times. But it sure felt like there was a lot of time.

Today, with life back to ‘normal,’ all that seems very far away.
