You are spelling Love wrong

I've got a busy summer. Agora is growing, we just hired our 6th developer and we have some exciting new protocols that we are building decentralized governance for. I shouldn't take a vacation, I am too busy.

But I will, and I am.

I still see echos of the hustle culture and productivity porn that I came of age professionally in but thanks to Cal Newport's Slow Productivity movement and Tim Ferriss' new outlook on life, I feel the tide is changing.

So how do you spell love?

T-I-M-E

There is no such thing as quality time. Quality time is something that old men invented to make themselves feel better for the hours, days and years they wasted away building their empire of dirt. You can't have it all, but if you focus your priorities you can have a lot, like a lot a lot.

You can have a great relationship with your kids, with your wife, with your business partners, with your body. (Almost in that order, you find the one that doesn't fit). You can find success and drive towards a meaningful goal. You will be tired and you will have hard days and wish it was easier, but the only way you really show people you love and care for them is through time. Your body is the same.

You might be far away, you might be close, it doesn't matter. Time spent can be a phone call, a letter, a visit, a text, a dank meme whatever it is, it's the transfer of attention from one person to another and in this wild, busy world, attention and how we spend it is our most important decision each day.

Show the people you love, you love them by giving them your time.
