Tempus Fugit (Time Flies)

On this first day of summer, we’re reflecting on the complexities
and emotional challenges of scheduling and managing time. Why
does managing our schedules often feel so stressful, chaotic, and
even triggering?


The episode begins with Rachael admitting: “I'm laughing at how
we on the Allender Center Podcast could take a topic like
scheduling and dive into the deep recesses of the complexity of
it.”


The truth is that scheduling is not just about logistics and
managing time, but also about dealing with deeper issues like
desire, grief, hope, and connection. 


The seemingly simple act of arranging our days can bring to the
surface feelings of loss, as we confront the limits of what we
can realistically accomplish. It can reveal our deepest desires,
highlighting what we prioritize and what we long to make time
for. Our schedules can also be a source of hope, as we plan for
future events and possibilities, and a reflection of our need for
connection, as we coordinate our time with others.


Join us for what we hope is a relatable conversation on how we
navigate this common aspect of life, recognizing the emotional
layers beneath the surface of our calendars and to-do lists.
