Time is a Currency
We all spend our minutes, some more carefully than others.
I find myself counting my 25 minute windows and 50 minute windows as they present themselves day by day, and then siphoning action into those windows.
The feeling of progress is almost illusionary, it's soothing in the midst of chaos.
Beyond the poetic nature of a ticking clock, the time spent on settling my thoughts and goals distils towards the pressing question: What problems am I solving?
How am I using the skills and leverage I have access to, in the best interest of humanity? Even before humanity, society? Friends and family?
Knowledge used to be the asset, but digestibility and actual implementation requires the additional expenditure of this limited currency. It costs time to get people to spend their own time, and that exchange, as thoughtful as can be, should be net positive.
That's the goal anyways, especially when it becomes one to many. One to one, emotional regulation and presence is one of the best ways to spend the currency of time. It's like every minute drips a bit more out of the moments, I can squeeze opportunity a bit tighter when I'm all there. Mentally, physically, emotionally. "Presence" sounds like a hippie prescription, but in reality, it's access.
Without it, making use of the tools amidst the overwhelm just isn't worth the spend.
Promising feels like perceptual progress.
Delivery is king, results are royalty. To overflow with value requires feedback loops, every educator understands this.
To teach is to learn, and to listen. The more our systems suppress that innate desire to connect, the forced emotional disconnect is how we bleed more of that currency. Days blink by, and we age accordingly.
The goal behind empowering people with digital workers is to slow that process down. Create more of a net, more of an oxygen tank, and save those that are barely swimming in the tidal wave of here and now.
