Not to go too deep, too fast, but time is something we all have to manage, I’ll have to respond to in someway, many of us every day, sometimes slave to the clock and the schedule.

One of my favorite musicians is Getty Lee, of the legendary Canadian progressive rock band Rush . Getty said one time, time is the most precious commodity that we have and so how I spend my time, I think a lot about that.

This piece is not about the deeper philosophical, ferried, thoughtful ideas around time, this is more practical, and more immediate. I have had a practice, most of all my adult life of setting my clocks, a little bit ahead, usually 3 to 5 minutes. For whatever reason that makes me feel like I have a little bit of an edge for myself on my own time management. I’m not great at it, I’m off in a little bit late, usually not early, but that’s been my practice. I wonder about you? What do you do with your time? What do you do with your clocks?
