- uoaei 3y agoI'm at the point where I'd like to replace all my clocks with some pictorial representation of Sol's position in the daily cycle and Luna's position in the (near-)monthly cycle. Working with the body's circadian rhythm, rather than ignoring/contradicting it, seems appropriate to me, especially since so much about our mood (hormones, etc.) is governed by our exposure to natural light and the rhythms of sleep -- see: "farmer time". Among many other reasons, one of them is to eliminate the fabled and apparently widespread phenomenon of "plan to start a thing at 14:00; oops it's 14:03, guess I'll keep procrastinating and start that next thing at 14:30 instead". With no hard boundaries aside from sunrise/sunset, this would probably be a much more difficult excuse to lean on. Remains to be seen whether new excuses come to replace the old.
- taeric 3y agoAs someone that has never used a clock for alarms, it sadly doesn't help with procrastination at all. And where I live, sunrise/sunset varies heavily throughout the year. Such that it is easy to mess up your natural timing and inclinations in the months where you are effectively losing an hour of daylight.
