Episode notes
The speaker argues that we should reconsider time as a resource. In the past, people did not view time as something to be saved or allocated. The medieval farmer worked according to the natural rhythms of life, without imposed schedules. There was no need for a sense of urgency because the work was never-ending. The speaker calls this the task orientation perspective on time, where the tasks themselves determine the rhythm of life. Today, we have become accustomed to an abstract timeline and the pressure to complete everything within a set timeframe.
