In this episode, Kunal explores a revelation that came from gaining an hour through Daylight Saving Time—and what it revealed about his relationship with time, presence, and the endless feeling of being behind.
Key takeaways:
- Time scarcity is often a perception problem, not a resource problem—we feel time-poor because we're not fully present in the moments we have
- The impulse to "catch up" reveals how we chase an impossible version of ourselves that's always just ahead, never feeling behind
- Time expands when we inhabit it fully through presence, and contracts when we rush through our tasks trying to be productive
