This isn’t nothing new. We’re playing for keeps in the daylight, in the dark, in the twilight of our hearts. People have been setting back their clocks for the better part of a century now. First proposed by an American inventor and politician by the name of Benjamin Franklin, back in the late 18th century,…
Spring is in the air, winter is on it’s way out the door, and timotheories has a freshly picked purview of posts to share with you! Are you excited yet friends? Because I’m not even going to give you preamble this month… we’re going to dig right in and pull up some fun. These topics…
I live by a set of immalleable valuables – Adam West, Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders When you decide once and for all that you’re gonna be what you want to, and not let anybody stop you, the next step is pretty simple: have a little understanding, dig in and fully commit to it….
Decision making is hard, dear readers. And sometimes implementing an easy decision really is the wrong thing to do, while implementing the complex decision turns out to be the right one. Unfortunately for all of us, life is not quite so simple as those black and white principles, and even Luke Skywalker is probably…

Sometimes when you’re stoking the fire you’ll get sparks. Good or bad, it’s a consequence of taking a risk. And other times, what started out as a small flame turns into something so large you can’t help but feel the heat – hopefully you can handle the inferno. As we already knew, the theme of…
The circle is now complete. When I left you, I was but the learner, now I am the master. – Darth Vader Of all the choices I could make to start this post off right, this is easily one of my favourite quotes from Star Wars because it demonstrates rather visibly resolution, the progression towards…
Another post on the OECD index and inspired by postconsumers.com timotheories? Wow, haven’t you farmed this land enough yet? Well… No, dear readers. Technically I still have to cover off the following – education, environment, governance, health, life satisfaction, safety and work-life balance. So we’re only a third of the way in! Plus, I could…
