I am obsessed with time.

Not so much with squeezing every last drop of productivity out of a 24-hour day. That was when I was young and seduced by hustle culture.

As I’ve grown, I’ve realised that’s not what I really want.

Instead, I’m obsessed with freeing up time.

What do I mean by that?

I’m talking about reclaiming my time and creating space for things that matter to me—people I care about, work that I find meaningful, health and wellness, and personal reflection.

That meant leaving a safe and secure job, saying no to meeting some people, and carefully re-assessing how I spend my time.

For me, time is a gift and I would rather focus on how I chose to spend it rather than cramming as much as possible into it.

And that’s what today’s prompts are about - our relationship with time.
