Shownotes Transcript

I'm happy to admit it: I've been a watch lover since I was a small child. I was fascinated by the hands, but even more so by the fact that you were measuring something. There are so many different types of clocks: analogue, digital, colour-coded, binary and many more. Large and small, portable, fixed, etc. What they all have in common is that they are like a thermometer and not a thermostat: they only reflect what is happening, but they cannot control or influence it. Time is a dimension, like space, to which we are subject in this world. Time is perhaps also one of the most socially just goods: each and every one of us has it, independently of everything else. With the good comes responsibility. How we plan, use and utilise our time is our responsibility. Taking time, having time, giving it away - what do you do best? Just for yourself or can others share it too?

I wish you an extraordinary day!
