How do I stop scheduling my life around clock time and embrace event based time?

The clock is a useful tool, not a master. I notice many people treat time like a container to fill, but in ubuntu time—relational time—things happen when they're ready, when people gather, when the moment arrives. Start small: pick one regular meeting or commitment and ask yourself: what actually needs to happen here? A conversation with your child doesn't require 20 minutes on a calendar; it requires presence until the conversation finds its natural end. Notice where you're rushing toward an arbitrary hour rather than toward completion or connection. The shift isn't about abandoning clocks—I still show up on time—but about recognizing they serve moments, not the reverse. In your digital tools, start marking not just when things start, but what would make them complete. What does "done" actually feel like? When you plan your week, include space for unscheduled gathering time. This is where ubuntu time lives: in the overlap, in the relational moment. The practice is noticing: Am I chasing the clock, or am I present to what's actually unfolding?
