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.”
“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.

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.

You would have a nervous breakdown in my house. Clocks in every room and 20 watches hanging in my room.
Stop it Patrick! You’re scaring him!
Do you have children or elderly parents to care for?
Or want your food to show up in grocery stores? Or airplanes and trains to arrive on time and safely?
Time is an important safety thing.
I don’t care. The only reason this is an issue is because of all the other expectations we’ve created around time and scheduling.
Humans used to do this for millennia without calendars or clocks
