    71. Vertical Time

    In this episode, I'll talk about the concept of Vertical Time which I first heard about in Jenny Odell's book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.  As she explains, there is Horizontal Time and Vertical Time. Horizontal Time is driven by the clock as we know it. It says you need to be HERE at THIS time for the world to work. It's your 9-5 workday. It's your kid's school pick-up time. It's the daily structure of time that rules our lives. But then there is Vertical Time.  Vertical Time is open. It's uncommitted. It's unscheduled. It's not driven by the typical structure of a working day. And because it's not structured, our brains are free to wander. In this episode, I'll talk about why we need vertical time as artists and how to create more of it in your life.Check out Jenny Odell's book:Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock.Get our newsletter here:https://www.amightypractice.com/newsletter
