I had an interesting discussion about how different people perceive time with Small Boy the other day ( Read more... )

Have you seen the yard sign over on Prospect about snow blower repairs? Might be worth having S wheel it down there to see if it's an easy fix.

Also, I have both time-brains in my head, and M has neither. Makes us a funny pair. :)

People who can live just entirely in the moment have their own gift. I'm terrible at stilling my mind and just BEING, and I suspect your M. is good at that.

It's true. It's why he's the perfect stay at home dad (babies? they just ARE) and why I went back to work outside of the home, pronto. :)

I have a friend who has a tool for his lack of short term time management. It doesn't solve the problem, but it does make it so it's never a small problem while sometimes being a big problem instead. He decides that things take 30 minutes. So if he needs to be somewhere at a certain time and he has to leave in 30 minutes he has time to do something. That thing might only take 3 minutes, but he had to re-evaluate afterward. He gets into trouble when Make Dinner, 30 minutes, (fine) Drive To Detroit, 30 minutes, (fine) Drive To Chicago, 30 minutes, (so wrong)

This would help me, actually. Because I already do that, but I say everything is going to take ten minutes. Then I end up ten minutes late. I honestly think twenty minutes on the Nordic track is going to take ten minutes. (This was clearly not a well-examined assumption, I just realized that just now.)

In my case I need to reset my calibration. Maybe I should do the same thing.
