He'd been watching people, himself included, defer the things that mattered in favor of the things that were merely urgent. Postponement wasn't neutral. Time spent waiting was time spent, and it didn't come back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe wasn't preaching productivity. He meant something quieter: the specific grief of a life lived mostly in preparation for living. The cure, for Seneca, was to treat each day as if it counted — because it did, and it does, and it keeps going whether you're ready or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHILE WE ARE and POSTPONING, run in lighter gray at the top — the setup, the delay.
