The hardest part about time isn’t that it runs out. It’s that it runs while you’re distracted.

The real cost is not the ending, it is how much goes by without you being present for it. Weeks vanish in a blur of half-attention and arrive in memory as nothing much, which is a loss with no obvious moment to point at. Attention rather than duration is what makes time yours.

Pick one part of today to be fully inside, with nothing else running. One undistracted hour is worth more than a long day you were absent from.
