Imagine a day without time. Not having a watch on your wrist. Not being able to glance at your phone or iPod when on the bus, train, or walk. Not hearing the ticking of the clock in a waiting room.
What is we all just went about our days in accordance to schedule, without time attached to everything? Is it possible to create schedule without having a timetable? Time is used to create structure. To keep us all in line, to keep us on point, to keep us present. Yet people still manage to fall short- we run late, get there early and then feel impatient as we wait for someone else, or simply forget altogether. The come the excuses and sometimes forgiveness. But ususally someone is either known as always being late, always being prompt or always being early. And in making an appointment if we tend to pack in our days, that structure comes as a bit of a constraint. We have to structure our days on plans that have been made, our jobs that always run on the same time schedule from hour A to hour B,C,D, or E and never change because it's easier and more comfotable to keep everything the same than have some flexibility or change here and there.
What does time actual function as? Is it to make us feel important as humans? As long as we have something marked down in our planners or noted on our palm pilots and blackberrys; have notifications sent for our planned events via facebook and twitter; have messages left on someones answering machine and invitations sent by mail, we know that someone will remember that there is a meeting, an event, a gathering of some sort of importance that will cut into their day that they will most certainly not forget. And all because there is a time penciled in next to your name.
Moreover, we are constantly wishing that time would either go faster, slow down, or just stand still. We structure our lives around this hidden concept that none of us actually appreciate, enjoy, or wish to be grateful for when it comes creeping around the corner.


I have a mid-term tomorrow that is creating many explosions in my brain.
I just got the material yesterday because I was absent last week.
I am frustrated because I feel like I don't have enough time to study and prepare.
This isn't true, but I am blaming time for my nerves.

one more day, one more hour, one more minute...
there never seems to be enough.
