Satish Kumar pointed out that there is plenty of time, you get another 24 hours with each new day. You just have to use it at the right rate.

I've never thought of a good reason to waste money or time on a watch.

I only ever pay attention to immediate time when I have to, otherwise, I don't.

One of the (many) things I detest about modern society is the obsession with time and doing more and more in ever shorter slices of it. How can an individual possibly do a good job, pay attention to detail, etc. if they are having to put up with demands like "I need that yesterday"? No wonder the average wage-slave (regardless of rank) is so stressed out.

Not worn a watch since I had a mickey mouse Mickey Mouse one when I was about 11.
