Nah, I really need to keep careful track of time. When my meds are working and I’m actually happy for once despite the soul-crushing reality of capitalism, I’m kind of a busy-body. Like I have a pathological desire to solve problems, and timekeeping is a really excellent tool in problem solving.
Like I’m an autistic person and I have a lot of specific special interests like differential equations, control theory, music production, acoustics…I really need to manage my time to accomplish even a fraction of what I want to do. I just have this perpetual desire to do deep dives and solve problems, and that requires a shitload of research, reading, and practicing new skills… which requires careful time management. (Which I’m still kinda trash at 😆.)
There’s definitely a critique to be made about how restrictions on the management of time and scheduling are imposed on us, and I would never want to impose timekeeping on people who don’t care to use it, but I don’t think timekeeping itself imposes a hierarchy.
I figured, but I do vaguely remember reading an article somewhere in the Anarchist Library a while back where the author was unironically arguing that time is an unjustifiable hierarchy.

While I’m sure there’s one or two who take it seriously, I’ve always thought of this meme as a bit tongue in cheek.
