What does morning smell to you? Fresh, crisp, sunny and slightly polluted because let’s not kid ourselves, that romantic haze is just suspended smoke particles, but I digress..
Mornings have the distinct advantage of having very few humans about and therefore, not having had the opportunity to contribute to daily chaos, tend to be calm and the perfect time of day to take a moment, a breath in. (for yoga too, but that’s another blog for another day).
So you take that breath in, in all it’s gloriousness and then as you exhale, all the chores of the morning flood your foggy head, you swear, hop out of bed and multi-task the heck out of your morning. Because serene mornings are great and all, but brekkie doesn’t make itself , lunches don’t pack themselves and AI hasn’t gotten so fancy that it can get you showered, fed and out the door on time.
This gets you thinking - if you could take over project planning for AI , forget fully-automated cars - parenting, household chores and scooping pet poo would be top of the list. Personal lives need fixing and who else but machines to fix ‘em? We’ve tried, haven’t we? And we fail, every day, ever so slightly, but the ever enthusiastic life training of getting on with it ensures we scrape through. Now if those useful little tools could take up all the peskiness of life and leave the good stuff for humans - we could indulge in all our pettiness with the unabandoned fear of being late, behind on chores et al.
In this world, imagine a fresh and sunny morning, then inhale in and as you breathe out, since everything’s been taken care of, you hit snooze and hit the sack again! Because calm mornings are great and all, but sleep, my friend, is divine!
