1/I've discovered having an artificial "gate" q. 7 days, compartmentalizing time into discrete weeks, is more hindrance > help.

... a rolling view of the next 7 days is liberating.

Any day is now the beginning of a "week"; the cycle is the same - but it moves with me in time.

2/ to be clear, I am not suggesting erasing the ritual distinction of each day.. Sunday still "feels" like Sunday, Monday is still Monday, etc.

What I am suggesting, is to overlay Kairos *on top of Chronos* - and prioritize K>C.

A centered view of time.

3/ the broader project that interests me is creating systems that reconcile Kairos with Chronos, (we need both), but allow and encourage Kairos to be the primary shaper, and not the other way around.

In the long run, I think this will turn Google Calendar upside down;

4/ furthermore, it's not lost on me that this reordering of priorities precisely mirrors the inversion that allows @RoamResearch to disrupt constraining hierarchies of traditional knowledge-storage systems.

I think that can happen, in parallel ways, with how we organize time.

5/ but wait, there's more!

Healing the relation between K and C, also has direct bearing on a subject of professional concern:

Helping survivors of trauma.

Broadly speaking, trauma survivors can feel "unmoored in time".

The experience of traumatic flashback -->

6/ is *part* of this, for sure. But it's not always obvious.

Dysregulated emotions are on a spectrum with a dystegulated sense of times' flow.

... Our emotions are literally HOW we experience time.

Heal one, heal the other.

Flip sides of a single coin.
