    I chose to stop wearing a watch more than 20 years ago. I thought about getting one for the health benefits five years ago, but concluded that I don’t want to have a watch nor cover an awesome tattoo. As a friend once wrote, “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

      Yeah, I don’t even remember the last time I wore a watch. No reason now that everything has a clock built in.

      It’s certainly nice to live a life free of responsibility for others, but that’s a massive and selfish privilege.

      “wearing a watch is like being handcuffed to time.”

      That’s perfect! I’m stealing this. I HATE, despise, loath in every respect clocks, watches, calendars and any other form of scheduling oppression. Go pound sand - I’ll show up when I show up.
