During these weeks of staying at home, I have, like millions of people, become more sedentary than I was before. Whereas I used to get out and ride my bicycle a few times per week and go on walks with friends, I have spent far more time than usual in front of a screen or at my sewing machine. I began to notice that when I’d get up and move across the room, I felt stiff and sluggish. . .

In light of the pandemic, I want to revisit the concept of Squishy Time. If you’re feeling adrift on the Sea of Indeterminate Time, you’re in good company. For me, it’s a feeling of being busy every day, but getting to the end of the day and wondering what exactly what I accomplished. . . Where has the time gone? . . .

Perhaps what connects us most right now is our collective feeling of disconnection. It’s as if this moment in time has been sliced away from the landscape and is being suspended over uncharted territory—we have no way of knowing where or when it will land . . .

When you saw the title of this article, you most likely thought of extra, loose coins jangling around in your pocket or purse. Fair enough—the photo I chose is intended to lead you there. But what if we shift our perspective and look at the phrase differently? Instead of “spare” as an adjective, let’s look at “spare” as a verb.

So what causes us (some of us, at least) to try to squeeze in just one more thing? Why do we—I—keep arriving late and still feeling as if the rules of Time somehow work differently for me? I’ve written earlier this month that I thought it was my ego, or a black hole of time, or a rabbit hole, or just the squishy nature of Time.

Join me, Stacey Leigh, for a look inside It’s About Time.
