On time

Something that I have noticed for a while now is time pressure. How fast are you, how slow are you, are you on time for an appointment, are you on time, are you always late, do you have to be early? Do you feel like time is slipping away, do you feel like you are constantly in a midlife crisis? Do other people expect you to be faster? Do you need to slow down?

It is very taxing on the endocrine system.

The watch

We live in a society that measures things over time. Appointment time. Noon is lunch time; you have to eat. We have little time for an exam. We should have done our job by a certain age.

The fastest

The constant need to get things done fast and then you will be happy. If I work hard and fast, I can finish early and then I can relax.

At school they measure us who is the fastest, who is the first to raise their hands, we have competitive sports. There is a lot of shame around speed and how fast you are or how slow you are.

Time is a huge pressure.

Time to eat

I grew up in a family where 6pm was dinner time. Whether you were hungry or not. Having to control your appetite to have one must-eat meal was difficult as a child because your appetite varies. Today I have dinner between 4:00 p.m. M. And 8:00 p. M., Depending on my appetite.

What time is it?

At night if I wake up I check to see what time it is, I have been stopping to check and I wonder, why do I need to know the time, what does it matter? Not checking the time has allowed me to sleep more and more deeply.

Time is running out

I always felt that I should be further with my success in life, I should have overcome those problems that I have not been able to heal. Time is running out. I am missing things in life.

But there is so much pressure to feel that time is slipping away, that if it were more this or that or faster, then I would have what I want. Or if things had happened earlier then I would have been happier.

Time is really a man-made construction that puts a lot of pressure on us.

Is time pressure something in your life?
