Live as if time didn't exist

What if we lived as if time didn't exist? Most stress comes from feeling like we’re “running out of time”, like we're "not gonna make it". Deadlines, aging, unfinished projects, long-term goals—everything gets wrapped in urgency. Even when nobody is rushing us, we rush ourselves. But what if you removed the pressure of time altogether?

If time wasn’t a factor, a big task wouldn’t feel overwhelming anymore. You wouldn’t think I’ll never finish this, it will take too long. You wouldn't think about how long it will take. You'd forget about time and just work. Calmly. Consistently. No fear, no hurry. Strangely, removing time removes anxiety.

This mindset would be very useful with, for example, investing and saving. So many people quit because it feels “too slow.” They look at their account after a few years and say:

• This is taking forever
• I’ll be dead before this becomes anything
• Why bother investing at all?

That’s the moment most people give up. But if you lived as if time didn’t exist? You wouldn’t care how long it takes. You’d invest regularly, without complaining or counting the years. You’d live your life, do your thing, and one day—maybe fifty years later—you’d realize you’ve become a millionaire almost by accident.

You didn’t race time. You didn’t obsess. You just stayed in the game. Now, this doesn't mean we should waste our time. Time is very valuable. Make most of your time. Time may be an invisible force, but it’s not unlimited. It deserves respect. We shouldn’t waste it doing meaningless things, drifting, or living carelessly.

But at the end of the day, you shouldn't panic about time. Don't rush. Don't stress. Don't slack either. You don’t live in fear of running out of time, but you treat time like something valuable—not something to throw away. This creates a healthy tension: calm, but intentional. Relaxed, but not lazy. Unhurried, but purposeful.

When you stop treating time as a threat, you free yourself to work without anxiety. Do the meaningful things. Drop the panic. Stay steady. Move forward. And don’t let the ticking clock scare you out of doing the work that actually matters.
