I've often wondered what alternative schedules could do for somebody's time management. For example, instead of 24 x 60 minute hours, how about 32 x 45m hours?

I've often wondered what alternative schedules could do for somebody's time management. For example, instead of 24 x 60 minute hours, how about 32 x 45m hours? Of course your actual time spent won't change much. Instead of 8 hours sleep you get 10.6, etc. But how would it change how we perceive time? Seems like it would be an interesting experiment.

The Days are the actual real thing. so within a day-night, the split into sub-parts can be rather arbitrary. Maybe not even same-length parts.. Whatever suits you. IMO the experiment would be very interesting and soul-freeing, although very tricky .. to avoid / escape everybody-else-imposing-back-that-hourly-stuff..
