A clock records duration while memory keeps deciding what deserves space.

STILLNESS

WHAT THIS MEANS

Two different accounts run over the same hours. One is even-handed and measures everything at the same rate; the other is entirely partial, keeping ten minutes from a Tuesday and losing an entire month. Both are accurate about different things. An hour and an hour are always the same length and almost never the same size.

Look back at last year and notice which hours were kept, because that says more about what you value than any list you would write deliberately. Then, choosing how to spend an evening, ask which account you are trying to satisfy. They do not want the same things.
