On one hand, I feel like it took me a small eternity and a lot of focus to finish this book, compared to How to do nothing that I had devoured. I was already familiar with a lot of the arguments being presented re: the critique of individual productivity, or indigenous worldviews on time, space and language (among others, Odell cites Oliver Burkeman, Robin Wall Kimmerer and Tyson Yunkaporta, whose books I read), but it's not easy to conceptualize time in terms of overlapping cycles and not just a straight line made of fungible hours.
On the other hand, I highlighted a lot of passages, especially in the last chapters. As I'm starting a new job after a burnout, reading this book made me envision time differently, and it also made me even more curious about things and people.
