Weekend vs time vs money

We made up the weekend the same way we made up the week. Earth actually does rotate around the sun once a year, taking about 365.25 days, and it dont care for week, weekends or time

That seven-day cycle buffered on both ends by those promise-filled 48 hours of freedom
—only holds us in place because we invented it.

We abuse time, make it our enemy.
We try to contain and control it, or, at the very least, outrun it.
We hunt, even A faster phone; that you finger on the “Close” button in the elevator; to get your same-day delivery.!!
We shave minutes down to nano-seconds, mechanizing and digitizing our hours and days, paring them toward efficiency....
Time haven’t always been so rigid.
The Mayans and the pagans saw time as a wheel, their lives repeating in stages, ever turning.
This idea stuck—and it’s way more boring than a wheel.

Becoming efficient is a way of saying “I’m going to conquer time before it conquers me.” To slow down, to stop fighting time, to actually feel it—this is an act of giving in, which is seen as a weakness.
Bragging “I never take a weekend” is a gesture of strength: I corralled time, I beat it down.
To actually, -taking a weekend of means ceasing the fight with time, and letting it be neutral, unoccupied.
How come this isn’t this a good thing?

Time is money says the proverb, but turn it around and you get a precious truth. Money is time -George Gissing

The clock became the ubiquitous new boss.
Back in the day, workers tended to complete their work organically, in accordance to mother natures laws: the sherman’s tasks beholden to the tides; the farmer’s to the seasons.
Now adays we measure it in productivity
Time now have a dollar value, and became a commodity, not to be wasted.
“Time is now currency: It is not passed but spent,” wrote by E. P. Thompson.
