Take back your time Tuesday

October 23rd, 2006

Tuesday, October 24, is Take Back Your Time Day, an annual North American initiative started several years ago by some very balance-minded folks. According to the TBYT people, we’re all too damn busy working too damn much, not to mention spending too much damn money, which leads to more bouts of working too damn much, and so on and so forth.

One of my favorite TBYT stats is that today’s Americans clock in more hours at work than medieval peasants did. So in honor of TBYT day, I’m going to actually eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner on Tuesday — sitting down. I’m also going to walk my dog for an hour before work and an hour after, as well as spend the evening with my sweetie, during which I will do my darndest to not bring up work every other minute.

How about you?
