00:00 In March 2020, I gave up time. I'd been living in the city for five years. I loved it, but

00:12 it was wearing me down. I found that I couldn't stop thinking about time. What time it is,

00:20 how long I've got, how long I've been doing something, how long I should have been doing

00:24 it, what time I need to wake up, how long it will take me to get there, how much time

00:29 I've got to get ready, how long I'll have to sleep, and is that long enough? Time was

00:35 muscling its way into my brain and crowding everything else out. Something needed to change.

00:41 A question formed in my mind. Could I live without time? Without clocks or calendars

00:49 or timings or schedules or bookings, free and fluid and spontaneous? I knew it wouldn't

00:56 be easy. Time is everywhere. But I would give it my best shot, and I would convince the

01:02 Arts Council to pay me to do it. I decided I would do it for a week, and then I realised

01:08 a week is a measure of time, so I revised that to a week-ish. And so, my time-free experiment

01:15 began.
