Attention Time

So, I'm doing a little experiment this weekend, and so far, I'm enjoying it.


What is this little, experiment you ask?  It has to do with time...

So, we have some pretty nasty thunderstorms rolling through where I live, and it caused the power to go out yesterday.  Which means, all my digital clocks were blinking.

I thought, I'm not doing much this weekend...why not leave them that way?

So I did.  My clocks are still blinking almost 24 hours later and it's helping me learn what my body wants...

From eating, to drinking, to sleeping, to well, everything!

So, I still have another day and a half of this, so we'll see what I have to report back...it's definitely letting me let loose this weekend.  And, I don't feel guilty or anxious about whether time is going by too fast or slow.

How are you letting go/loose this weekend?  I hope you're having fun any way you're doing it!

That is a fantastic idea!! I bet it feels kinda liberating doesn't it? To not feel a slave to the clock. I kinda want all my clocks to go kaput now haha. Can't wait to hear how your experiment goes :)

I LOVE your motivation and determination to fight this once and for all :)

I'm pretty sure that you are a genius. Especially as Bobby and I just looked at the clock and said, "how is it X o'clock already?!" (Didn't want to tell you what time it is here in Chicago, haha!) Enjoy yourself, can't wait to hear more!

That's awesome I like living off of instinct rather then the demanding world and time. However, thunderstorms scare the poo out of me lol no literally btw. :)

I actually LOVE this idea! Sometimes I rely a lot on the clock. If I ever have a weekend with no commitments (hopefully soon) I'm trying this! Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

What a NEAT experiment, Melissa! I can't wait to hear how you feel once it's over. I wish I could do something similar to test myself, too. I'll have to live vicariously through you..Hehe!

Wow girl, you're a bigger woman than me! I'm so anal that it would bother me SO much not to know what time it is. But I imagine that it must be so freeing!
