When I quit scheduling every minute, time seemed to stretch

I decided to stop scheduling every minute of my day, expecting to feel unproductive. Without the rigid blocks of time, my days initially blurred together in a hazy stream. Surprisingly, I found myself completing tasks more fluidly, without the pressure of arbitrary deadlines. This led to a realization that constant planning might compress our perception of time. Instead of rushing, I lingered over coffee, and projects felt less urgent yet more manageable. I now suspect that our obsession with calendars creates a false scarcity of hours. Letting go of minute-by-minute control didn't bring chaos; it offered a subtle expansion of moments.
