my goal for this year is to stop time from managing me it will pass anyway first, my smartwatch broke and the effort to fix it, again was just not worth the time so i escaped, after years my data-driven lifestyle i stopped counting steps lost track of my phone and of course, the time second, the WiFi-connected smart oven shedding light on time was replaced with a relic that actually works also without a screen and then the last straw proudly brought to you by my body getting sick like clockwork orange alarms - and the peace and pace of life one can have without them i've claimed to prioritize sleep so i will turn them off and miss that meeting if my body asks me to this year i will finally put health first, time second now, my only source of time (because i don't know where my phone is) are the tiny digits in my car set ~7 minutes ahead, on purpose shocking me to my core that once again, i'm late for work but the fact that i know the time means i'm on my way to be the woman of the hour late so i clock in
