Conversation

i have a pet theory that conversations with other people - including but not limited to therapy or coaching sessions - should happen in multiples of 90 minutes. 60 minutes is not enough time and i think it's a shame that we settled on 60 as the default chunk

when i let conversations - again including but not limited to coaching sessions - reach a natural end that end is often after either 90 or 180 minutes (not always, for sure) 90 minutes is about the length of a REM cycle, and also about the length of a movie 🤔

my coaching sessions started going noticeably better once i insisted on having them be 90 minutes long instead of 60. 60 almost always felt rushed but 90 feels spacious. there's enough time for like a whole emotional arc to play out (length of a movie!)

my therapist seems to agree so that we've settled (kind of intuitively) on a 90 min session. it always ends smoothly rather than abruptly
