Productivity is not the ultimate measure of the meaning or value of time. To imagine a different 'point' means also imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside the world of work and profit.

Introduction

Between the days we spend at work, the hours that pass while doom scrolling social media, and the few years we have before our planet's carbon budget is used up, we never seem to have enough time.

But what does time even mean when considering alternative lifecycles, like those of rivers or rocks? Do birds have trouble finding time for self-care?

Jenny Odell is an American artist and author known for her bestselling book How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy.

In Saving Time, Odell explores how culture influences our relationship with time, mapping out alternative ways to experience time beyond productivity and the demands of capitalism.
