Sharing Time — Architecting A Life

Just recently I got to wondering why I never felt like I was caught up on anything—projects, relationships, hobbies, jobs—the list goes on. As I pondered my situation I realized that for the past few days I’d worked from 8am to 9pm, only pausing long enough to eat meals. What this meant was that of the 15 hours I was awake each day I only had about 2 hours of unscheduled time for myself. 13:2 is not exactly an ideal ratio. Now, normally, you might expect me to make a plug for some time-saving lifestyle hack. There are plenty of ideas out there for how to squeeze an extra few hours into each day, how to work less, or how to minimize time-expenses.

So, what exactly is time for myself, and what makes it more desirable? In the battle for time to ourselves, we seem to strive so desperately to create a separation between work life and personal life—but what makes the time so different? Instead, I propose something different: all time is your own.

Carved Book Landscapes by Guy Laramee

Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures. Of these works he says: So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains.
