Throughout much of human history, time was a relatively intuitive concept; the seasons and daylight cycles influenced people’s activities and their expectations. This all changed with the invention of electricity, and industrialized work that took place in lightbulb-lit warehouses and offices. As digital work tools have expanded, the possibility of perpetual work has taken over our lives. There are no periods of dormancy, no dark nights, and no snow days. There is no escaping work (and productivity tools and apps), even when we are at home.
