apokalypse

i was wondering who in here experience living without those human clock or Human Time? i thought about it ditching the clock..there's people experience it and find it better, it's hard with appointments and life..my idea is just set alarm and calendar...1 day/1-2hours before the event/appointments
we have heard so many stories with NDE's when they return to earth having issue living with Time...
Earlier this year, Twitpic CEO Steven Corona spent 30 days without social media. Now, he's given up time. That's right—no clocks, no watches, nothing digital. He shares what life is like with the sun as his guide.
Time. When broken down into minutes, hours, days, such small units over a lifetime, they don't really seem to exist. It's almost like a reality that we all subscribe to—existing only because we agreed it should. On the other hand, time is always marching forward. Infinite. Abrupt when divided into years, decades, centuries.The smallest units, insignificant over a lifetime, are also the most stressful. The most frustrating. I was sick of it.
I unsubscribed to the clock
I dropped my watch right into the garbage. Shut off the glowing green-blue digital clocks that seem to piggyback on every appliance known to man—microwave, stove, VCR. The one in the corner of my computer screen? Gone. On my iPhone, I changed it to a random timezone so, technically, it still has a clock, but at quick glance? Almost useless.
The effects were immediate. The first few days were so confusing. I worked on my laptop all day, totally devoured and consumed by creating things. I had no idea whether it was 11 AM or 7 PM, and didn't care—it was beautiful! I was able to really lose myself in a project without having a clock to constantly distract.
I learned how to read the sun—a skill that adapted on its own, so it was surprising when I caught myself turning to the window to figure out if I was done working for the day. I've tested myself and I'm pretty accurate, even with the season change.
Three months later
Though I've gotten used to the mental freedom, three months into it, the bigger changes are still sticking around. I'm less stressed. I don't worry about how long things take or even bother considering how long they should take. Over a lifetime, an extra couple of minutes here or there is a rounding error and a worthy price to pay for the benefits.
I'm no longer chained to the clock. I measure my life in heartbeats and years, the only significant units to me.
