🍁 Falling Back In Time (and Why It’s Like Saving Money)

This weekend, we fell back.

One extra hour of sleep, evenings getting darker — and, maybe, one quiet reminder about how we think about time.

Daylight Saving Time was first introduced to “save” energy — to use more daylight hours for work and less electricity at night. The idea sounded efficient, but the truth is, it’s a construct and didn’t really save much at all.

And that’s kind of how we treat time, isn’t it?

We keep trying to save it.
To squeeze more in.
To organize it better.
To get ahead, so we can finally rest.

But time doesn’t work like that.

No matter how carefully we manage it, we can’t bank it or earn interest on it.

Time, like money, only grows when we spend it intentionally.

The Scarcity Illusion

Do you ever notice how easily scarcity sneaks in — not just with money, but with time, energy, even joy?

It sounds like:

“I don’t have time.”
“I can’t afford to slow down.”
“If I rest, I’ll fall behind.”

Those thoughts feel practical, but they come from a mindset of lack — a belief that there’s never enough to go around.

And living in that state is exhausting.

You end up rushing through your days, multitasking instead of being present, treating every moment like something to manage instead of something to experience.

It’s like hoarding pennies and wondering why you never feel rich.

From Saving to Savoring

Here’s the shift I invite you to make:

Instead of trying to save time, what if you learned to savor it?

Just like a wise investor puts money into what grows, you can invest your hours into what nourishes you.

Moments that fill you back up — rest, creativity, laughter, stillness — are never wasted. They’re deposits in your future energy account.

Try this simple reset this week:

✨ When you catch yourself saying, “I don’t have time,” pause and reframe:

“I have all the time I need for what truly matters.”

✨ When you feel pressure to hurry, remind yourself:

“I can move slower and still arrive on time.”

✨ And when you find an extra hour (like we just did), spend it on something that expands you — not just fills your calendar.

Daylight Saving Time may give you an extra hour once a year, but you decide how to use your hours every day.

You can’t store up time like a savings account, but you can invest it with care — in your peace, your purpose, your people.

That’s how you turn scarcity into abundance.

That’s how you fall back into yourself.

With Love & Gratitude (especially for an extra hour of sleep),
