Time, Attention, and the Meaning of a Day
🌟 Introduction
- Life is often measured in years → birthdays, anniversaries.
- But we live in days, hours, moments.
- Hook: attention, not time, is our real currency.
📜 Philosophical Background
- Seneca’s On the Shortness of Life.
- Buddhist focus on impermanence and presence.
- Heidegger: being-toward-death and the urgency of now.
🧠 Attention as the Core Resource
- What you attend to shapes your experience.
- Scattered attention = scattered life.
- Deep attention = meaning.
💡 Practical Insights
- Morning rituals as anchors.
- Single-tasking over multitasking.
- Reflecting at night → “Was today well spent?”
🙏 Closing Thoughts
- Time is neutral, attention gives it shape.
- A meaningful life = meaningful days, one after another.
