The time tyrant
“It will take about 20 minutes. Ok?”
I got the question when ordering breakfast this morning. I started weighing my options. Maybe going to the place further down the street would save a few minutes.
Then it struck me how crazy that reasoning was.
I’m on vacation and I still have three more weeks to go. I have nothing planned, not for today or for the rest of my stay. I have all the time in the world.
Still, this time tyrant. Trying to optimize life like a minified CSS file. It’s insane.
I really do feel more relaxed in this current holiday mode, but clearly some of the hurry culture from back home managed to sneak into my travel gear.
Anyway, today I managed to turn a deaf ear to the time saver. No weight of waiting, just a moment of stillness. And it was definitely worth staying put.
Today’s breakfast, a mixed fruit smoothie bowl.
