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

So into that. What a delicious schedule. In summer each would be naturally longer i guess? When you measure time off a sundial, would it make each ‘hour’ longer on a longer day? Or would it just start at a lesser angle & finish at a bigger one. Maybe a diff dial for each season?
