{2.2} time is a grid

• Julian talks about calendars introduce necessary time constraints to your task management.
  • You have to really understand how much time something will take, and when the right time to do something iss
  • And then you have to fit those task into a 24 Hour x 7 Day grid that’s already holding commitments like travel, meetings, and more.
  • He says that this is like playing Tetris with blocks of time, and I love that metaphor.
    • Time is a puzzle; you have all these pieces of information and action that need to be worked into the rest of the picture.
• But I think the real reason this resonated with me is because I can see it as a plane.
  • A calendar is just a 24 x 7 grid.
  • Because everything everything is connected to time (!), everything has a unique coordinate on the grid.
  • This is especially useful when thinking about {5a} time as an axis.
