      Sometimes for me, it’s also:

      5 minutes = fictional

      3 hours = one snooze

      2 weeks = tomorrow

      Next year = soon (as in “I’ll get around to it soon”)

        I’ve got a monthly scheduled transfer from one of my bank accounts to another that is mildly problematic every month. I need to change the amount, but to do that, I’ve got to go to the bank during business hours.

        It has been nearly a year that I’ve needed to do this. I would like to hope I’ll get it done before 2026, but I suspect I’ll still have it on my to do list in June.

    Yeah I relate. The past is a dream. The future a dream wrapped in a vibe. Hours boggle me

    Ugh, yes. I’m going through a rough relationship patch where we’ve separated to work on ourselves and the relationship.

    My natural inclination is to pursue and put in effort until I drop, but the smart move is almost always to wait. For days, even weeks. There have been a few instances where I felt like my last move was an eternity ago. Nope, just two days. Not even full days. Torture!

    2 weeks; truly abstract art. Who can even remember two weeks ago? I can’t.

    5 minutes for me is more like one blink or 2/3rds of a psych myself up to do something.

    Uhm, mine is:
    5 minutes: TOO short,
    10 minutes: TOO long!
    3 hours: Busy things only!
    2 weeks: Yep! Just not today.
    Next year: Okay, it’ll be, eventually!
