Time Is Your Enemy

Once upon a time, we had time.

Time to talk, ask questions, discuss, debate and illuminate.

Time to think, contemplate and cogitate.

Time to create–– blue-sky-spitball-creativity-run-amok-free-for-all-idea-moshpit-brawl.

Time to share ideas, poke and probe, refine and revise.

Time to produce–– unleash new creativity, energy and artistry.

Time to craft: nip, tuck, compose and score.

Time to finish, polish and perfect.

Once upon a time, we had time.

Now, we have deadlines that creep ever closer, timelines clipped–– chasing the present.

It’s time to stop. Time to breathe deeply. Time to look around at everything competing for our ever-shrinking attention spans.

Time to witness the proliferation of messaging everywhere–– 99.9% of it so easily ignored.

Time to say, “Couldn’t we do better, if we took more time?”
