I, unfortunately, am a slave to the clock. But not in the way you described in this great article. I'm a watch enthusiast so I'm usually wearing a watch of some sort that isn't smart. The funny thing is that I don't really use my watches to tell the time. They're more of a reminder to me that time is passing and that I need to use what I have judiciously.
Thanks Cory. What brand of watches are your favorite? I prefer wearing an analog watch, and am not a watch guy, but I would like to get a good (yet relatively inexpensive) one.
Anytime. I look forward to your articles. My favorite watch brands are Seiko, Casio and Omega. My article today talks about my Seiko SKX. I think you'd like it. Since you're a diver, I think getting a dive watch is a must. I'd get a Seiko Turtle (https://seikousa.com/collections/prospex/products/srpe93). The Turtle looks bigger than it wears. But you can't beat it for the price.
“The world is bursting with wonder, and yet it’s the rare productivity guru who seems to have considered the possibility that the ultimate point of all our frenetic doing might be to experience more of that wonder.”
One of the reasons I find it difficult to devote time to reading fiction. There is a seemingly endless supply of amazing stories in our world to uncover. Why bother making shit up?! (A reductive take, to be sure)
Thanks Michael. I agree. I used to love fiction, but lately find myself fascinated by the absolute wonder we are surrounded by in the real world. That doesn't apply to David Joy's writing of course. His new book is phenomenal.
Right on. For me, the metric doesn't apply to movies. I do watch tons of documentaries but I also watch a lot of movies. I think it has something to do with the time commitment. It's a lot easier to watch a two-hour flick than it is to read 300+ pages.
