Ways in which humans measure time
Roshan de Jong
Building systems to scale impact | Strategy Execution | Agile (Framework Agnostic) | People positive
A non-exhaustive overview:
?? Years
(?? from the solar perspective)
?? Months
(?? from the lunar perspective)
?? Weeks
?? Hours (24 in a day)
?? Minutes
?? Seconds
(?? from the earth perspective)
?? Jiffy
?? Svedberg
?? Seconds (again)
? But not lightyears - that is a measure of distance
(?? from the scientific perspective)
?? Loading bars
?? Anxiety (about progress, start time, end time)
?? Frustration
?? Boredom
?? Boxes checked
?? Mental effort
?? Urgency
?? Focus
?? Joy
(?? from the human perspective)
??? None of these units line up beautifully with each other. Better pick the right measure for the job.
I'm Roshan de Jong. I help organisations build systems that scale their impact, and where people autonomously wipe their own asses. Working on something cool? Say 'hi!'
