December has gone soft around the edges. The year is slowing down. We’re about to enter the annual liminal zone where nobody knows what day it is, or why 4 p.m. feels like 9 p.m. This quiz will diagnose your temporal temperament; not to fix it, but to say, “Yes, I understand, and that’s a perfectly normal way to experience time right now.”
How are you currently marking the passage of days?
The same way I always do; routine keeps me grounded.
Sunrise, sunset, vague sense of hunger.
By what’s left in the fridge and how much of it seems edible
Time’s not linear, it’s a flat circle.
You open your calendar and see the last week of December. What do you do?
Review, reflect, maybe plan next year’s goals.
Squint at it. Close it. Walk away.
Doodle a snowflake on it, then lose my pen.
Whisper, “Weeks have no power here”.
You’re invited to a “year-end gathering”. What’s your first move?
RSVP promptly and offer to bring a dip.
Decide to go based on whether there’s a nap zone or not.
Maybe I’ll attend in spirit.
See how I feel on that quote unquote ‘day’.
You find an old to-do list from last January. Your reaction?
Satisfaction. Most of it is done.
Awe, so cute, who was that ambitious creature?
Laugh, because clearly it was written in a different lifetime.
Ignore it, spontaneity is my only guide.
