- Follow the rules of the latest minimum hour work week, crossing every t and dotting every i.
- Push the elements of your life into the petri dish of exactitude.
- Head down, sweat it out while Time etches each moment into the day.
- Tick off the seconds as you reach for the ever-possible beach-dwelling, thong-wearing, Mai Tai-sipping existence promised by cyber-charlatans and wanna-be-influencers.
- Replace God with the idol of the Perfect Work/ Life Balance, convince yourself that your little world, distilled to the minute, will keep you from falling apart.
- Rinse and repeat while the Owl watches us from afar, wondering how our new life is serving us?
