I like to do things on the hour or 1/2 hour. I'm looking at the clock right now and thinking I've got seven minutes to write. This freezes me. God forbid I leave for work at 7:05 or worse yet some non-five increment like 7:07. Yikes! I'm already down to three minutes. If I want to hit 7:00 AM on the nose I've got to finish this blog fast. I've added consistent Dog walking to my morning chores, it should have always been consistent. Anyhow, it just puts more crunch time on my morning relaxation routine. ""Crunch Time"" and "Relaxation", hmmm, they don't sound like they mix well. 7:00!!!! Gotta split.

I am always amazed at how the human mind works in relation to time. And now, from the time-related story archive...
During really boring classes, I would doodle down the left margin a "minutes left" countdown. I would force myself not to look at my watch or clock and then when I couldn't take it any more, I would look and write it down. Sometimes I would be like "wow, that was 5 minutes, I thought it was only two" but more often it would be like "wow, that was only 2 minutes"... When I would look back over my notes at the end of the year, it was hilarious to see a line of numbers on the page, some extending the entire length of the page (Intro to Philosophy was pretty impressive, but the winner was definitely International Political Science with Mr. Bunnell).
The bonus was that it looked like I was actually taking notes.
