An intriguing thought has been simmering in my mind, offering a lens through which to view and understand the world—through the fundamental elements of dot, line, and vector. I see dots as snapshots of the current status quo frozen in time. As time progresses, these dots elongate into lines, tracing paths and narratives, weaving together into a complex tapestry that narrates the world's multifaceted stories. This perspective has led me to ponder the **underutilized concept of time and its flow**, how it shapes our focus and directs our preferences.

In reflecting on how we allocate our time—be it social, productive, or leisure—**I am convinced that our choices serve as the most genuine reflection of our identities and values.** The potential to harness this understanding in structuring social engagements and using **a new type of calendars as a platform for interaction** excites me. Though the intricacies of this concept remain elusive, the foundation of a product idea is slowly taking shape in my mind.

**Envisioning a world where every moment is acknowledged, where the forces and directions of our actions are understood and visualized, appeals to me for its simplicity and clarity.** This understanding could revolutionize how we interact, exchange, and allocate our time across various media and mediums. **I am keen on exploring how to design such interactions, to facilitate this exchange of our most precious commodity—time.**

I think calendar interfaces will have the moment of an iPhone or a ChatGPT. It will become smarter, smoother, and lighter to use for everyone.
