That constant sense of falling behind has a name. It's manufactured urgency, spending your hours on other people's deadlines.

The thought behind it

Some things stay heavy because they have no name. This line supplies one, and the weight becomes something you can hold. The TIME thread runs straight through it: an account that only ever withdraws, and never quotes you a rate. Read it again for “urgency”. That is the point at which observation turns into a decision.
