Stop throwing your money away!

Time and Attention as Currency

Become conscious of how you spend it.

I am watching The Handmaid’s Tale, episode after dark episode
instead of opening my mind, instead of opening to the world
within my own world, and letting it populate my fingers
and fill my laptop with the stories I want to tell.
I look to my screens like an addict
about to lose control for
want of the thing —
I scroll and
scroll and
scroll.

When the show
gets too dark, and
I’m getting depressed,
it’s on to youtube clips.
Everybody Loves Raymond
bloopers from Season Five. Benedict
Cumberbatch on the Graham Norton Show
doing his incredible imitation of Chewbacca (have
you seen it? You HAVE to). A news clip from Florida about
a python somebody found in their toilet. By now I’m so tired.
