One can protect slow time in different ways on a personal level, depending on personal and professional position. In order not to be eaten alive by speed, it is necessary to choose consciously. For example, a decision like this can be made:

Respond to emails only on Monday mornings;

Go fishing in a secret place on Tuesday so others can't find you;

Turn off the phone and radio when you are alone in the car;

Read professional journals on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, not newspapers;

No automatic message phone, when you are not in the office, regardless of those missed calls;

Always read a poem and two notes before reading the news on a Wi-Fi device; stay with one's family from 4:30 pm to 8:30 pm, and stay out of the outside world;

Go to a concert every other Wednesday, or to an orchestra, uninterrupted and uninterrupted;

As long as the present moment suits you, refuse the interruption of the next moment.

In the Nordic countries, the concept of a cottage or log cabin has a special meaning. Only half of the Nordics can easily own a cottage, but everyone understands the deeper meaning. When one arrives at those cottages, one finds them either in remote and deserted mountains, or on deserted beaches near the coastline, when slow moments take over. People keep their watch in a drawer and don't take it out until they return to the city. Families have had a heated discussion about whether a villa needs a TV, phone and internet - something people are too embarrassed to admit despite the convenience of these devices. In this environment, it is not the clock that manages the activity that creates stress, but the activity that manages the organization of time. The kids go to bed an hour later than usual, eat dinner hungry, and feel free to pick berries or fish as you like. At present, few citizens of modern society would dream of returning to this delightful moment permanently. We know too much about other pleasures and understand the complexities of our current society very well, the dream of returning to nature is indeed very attractive, however, let's not forget that living in a villa is completely different from the fragmented rush situation , usually the latter govern most of our lives. I think it would be advantageous to arrange many different activities during the time at the villa, provided that these activities do not require careful and precise cooperation.

When I am surrounded by other activities that are not too demanding and mutually exclusive, how can I decide which is the wise use of my time between reading Kant for a semester and staying in a slow-paced Thai fishing village Woolen cloth? If I do it in order of priority, what criteria should I use? Because of the lack of self-evident standards, many people try to find time to do everything and end up miserably doing everything. This is precisely the problem.

If you have the money, feel free to take vacations, suspend work and study, and put your children with friendly relatives in the country to spend the first half of the year doing meaningful activities. It is recommended that you first consider the following activities:

learn to play jazz piano;

6 months in Paris to learn French correctly;

Build a virtual city with real proficiency in the latest version of the SimCity game;

Familiar with symbolic logic;

Read the novel Ulysses;

take care of the family and become a better cook;

Have a good time with friends in a cafe or movie theater;

Spend as much time leisurely as possible in a hammock on the tropical sand.

These are all great ideas to be appreciated, but of course not all at the same time. It is possible to combine two or three ideas together, but too many ideas bundled in a plan tend to screw things up.
