• "This may seem obvious, but if time is money, it is so in a way that's different for a worker than for an employer." - Jenny Odell
• "Any time freed up goes right back into the machine to increase profits." - Jenny Odell
• "Clock out of the rat race."
• "In a world where being 'busy' is a badge of honor, we treat time as if it were gold: stockpiling, hoarding, trading it, yet losing sight of what truly matters."
• "Amidst this chaos, the 'time is money' mentality has stealthily seized our moments of joy, hijacking our well-being. Productivity shouldn't be the yardstick that measures our self-worth, yet we still allow it to define us."
• "Ask yourself: who controls our calendars? Whose time is considered more valuable? Is leisure time accessible to everyone? Our answers reveal the complex web of power, privilege, and cultural bias in how we see time."
• "In our rush to be productive, we often overlook the environmental footprint of our lifestyle. Our insatiable desire for instant gratification and convenience fuels the ticking time bomb of climate change."
• "The Earth's alarm is ringing, yet we keep hitting 'snooze.'"
• "Hop off the treadmill, question the status quo, and break away from the iron grip of deadlines."
• "Welcome to the future where happiness, passion, and health outrank the endless rush and grind."
• "In ancient civilizations, people didn't chop up time into neat little blocks like we do now. They relied on sunrises, sunsets, and the changing seasons."
• "We swapped the natural, organic flow for an artificial system."
• "As Europeans colonized new lands, they took their clocks with them. Just picture it: a colonizer sets foot on a foreign shore, brandishing a clock as a symbol of 'civilization.'"
• "It was precisely then that the concept of time turned dark. Enslavers kept close tabs on the time enslaved people spent working. They were chasing maximum productivity, and the clock became a weapon of exploitation."
• "Then came the Industrial Revolution — a thunderous storm that forever altered our relationship with time. The clanging of machinery and the rhythmic pounding of factories demanded a new kind of order. Workers were tethered to the clock, their every move dictated by its unforgiving hands. Time wasn't just money; it was power."
• "Tame time."
• "Audacious quest to tame time."
• "You know that moment when your phone battery hits 1%, and you're scrambling for a charger? That's what burnout — that big, bad buzzword — feels like."
• "The lines between work and personal lives are more blurred than ever. Our laptops have become our offices, and our smartphones are the extensions of our hands."
• "No wonder we're running on empty if we're supposed to be on call 24/7, with our 'off-time' sneakily turning into more work."
