I was a letter carrier for the post office for 30 years. I have never worn a watch but I learned to use the shift in sunlight over the course of the day to let me know what time it was. I was always surprised at how accurate I became with this way to tell time. It has served me well, even into retirement when I can still become anxious around time issues.
1. The moment I always lose track of time: Answering “just a few” work emails after dinner.
2. What I miss or what goes wrong because of it: I end up staying up way too late and feel exhausted the next morning.
3. This week, I’ll set a visual timer when I: Start checking emails after dinner
4. I’ll set it for: 20 minutes
5. My timer will be: A visual countdown timer on my phone next to my laptop
6. When it goes off, I’ll: Stop and close my laptop for the night
