How to find more time
Oh, hi friends!
Can you cut something in half today?
Not literally. Although, well, yes, it could be literally, if you have some sort of hacksaw or a strong pair of scissors and something that you actually wanted to cut in half.
But I'm talking about time-wise — because, of course, time is that Holy Grail. Can you shorten your commute? Your meeting? Your lunch hour? The amount of time you spend on Slack? Your Instagram scroll? Your dilly-dallying around time?
What would it look like to split something in half — creating a sense of urgency, physically moving faster, making quicker decisions? — and what could you do with that extra time?
A lot, I bet. A lot lot lot.

From an old stream-of-consciousness Instagram post two years ago. Reminds me what it feels like to really look at your surroundings.
I love it when people spend money unapologetically on things they value for themselves — that's what we should do with our money! No judgment allowed. That's especially why I enjoy this new Money story by Laura Belgray about spending $300 on one Uber ride and the benefits of stress-free living. Agree? Disagree?
