Go ahead. You can’t make a soufflé sandwich until it’s flat enough. Time is something we are in a great big hairy rush to spend, and yet it’s a societal construct. Let’s say you’ve found yourself in a slight financial rut. Maybe it’s January and your credit cards are shopped out, or you had to take time off work to get through a bout of Covid.
