topic: [[Creating]] people: #people/jennyodell created: 2023-07-01 *Does time have to be just one thing?* This reminds me of [[reflective judgment]], growing from black and white thinking to situational thinking. It's kind of like [[zero-sum thinking]], is it always the case that exchanging one time use for another is an even exchange? Is [[Flow]] the same as other forms of time? Chronodiversity is a concept of the multiple natures of time that develops in [[Saving Time]], so we can start thinking of time more expansively This matters because we can get out of the zero-sum view of time, then we can start seeing how our thinking can be expanded from tradeoffs to supplements. This is like the ideas from [[Appreciative Inquiry]], where we think of how one part of our life intersects with and augments other parts of our life. How does our work build our family life? What are the translatable skills? It's kind of like [[ways of knowing]], how we consider knowing to be one idea, but it can be subdivided into different ways of knowing. Maybe measuring time can be thought of in a similar "ways of experiencing time" - [[Flow]]: One looses time, the sense of self is evaporated, one is experiencing complete lack of presence - meditation: One has a goal of full [[presence]], almost the opposite of flow (or can you meditate enough that it becomes flow?) - How does this related to [[🐓 Idea Farm/6 Long Form Sources/Trying Not To Try|Trying Not To Try]]? Chronodiversity is the idea that time can be considered more than just one way. For some reason, we have developed a scientific hypothesis around time that is can only be determined by a clock. I have a sense that we can view time through multiple scientific perspectives: [[positivism]] is more "clock" oriented, and [[Constructivism]] is more "experience" oriented. ##### What would the opposite argument be? How is this similar to Daniel Kahnemann's "experiencing self vs remembering self?" How does this change when we experience together? [[We have stronger experiences when those experiences are shared]]. [[Four Thousand Weeks]] is all you get, so you really do have a tradeoff between different uses of your time tags: #note/idea | #on/reflection | #on/time | #on/complexity ##### Sources: Odell, J.
