The greeks measured time in two ways. Chronos, the quantitative measure of seconds, minutes, hours and days and Kairos, the separation between two moments of important opportunity or discovery.
It’s easy to measure chronos, every project schedule does that with the help of every clock. How many hours, days, weeks months will that task take?
Kairos moments of great advancement or great breakthroughs. It’s no more possible to plan that then it is to plan when you’ll meet someone and fall in love.
Do we measure chronos and hope for kairos?
