How to Time Travel


Listen Later

In this episode, Kunal shares a profound realization that started with a simple Daylight Saving Time morning—discovering that we never really gain time, we only notice it. What began as excitement about an "extra hour" became a meditation on presence, debt to the past, and the relationship we have with each moment.
Key takeaways:
- We spend our "extra" time catching up with the past instead of creating something new for our future
- Time isn't a resource to optimize but a relationship to cultivate through presence and attention
- The only time we actually gain is the moment we inhabit fully, not through rearranging the clock
