Expanding with Time cards theory

Let’s think of a day like a deck of cards spread out on a table, where each card represents a different part of a much larger day—96 hours, split into four distinct phases, each happening at the same time. These phases are Sunside Day, Darkside Day, Midday to Midnight Day, and Midnight to Midday Day.

Sunside Day is like the ace of spades—a card full of energy and brightness, just like the middle of a sunny day. This card invites us to engage in activities that require high energy and focus, perfect for tackling big tasks or enjoying the outdoors.

Darkside Day can be seen as the king of clubs, representing the deep, quiet hours of midnight. It’s a time for rest and reflection, just like when you’re winding down for the day or seeking moments of peace in the still of the night.

Midday to Midnight Day is akin to the queen of hearts, capturing that transition from the afternoon into the evening. It’s a blend of light and shadow, where the activities of the day begin to slow down and we start to prepare for the night.

Midnight to Midday Day is similar to the jack of diamonds, symbolizing the early morning leading into noon. This is a phase filled with potential and the soft inspiration of dawn, ideal for creative pursuits and planning the day ahead.

Each of these 'cards' or time phases is always on the table, available for you to experience. While all the cards are laid out in front of you, you might only be focusing on one at a time, but knowing the others are there helps you prepare for and transition into different activities or states of mind more smoothly.

This way of imagining the day lets us see our time as layered and rich with possibility, each part of the day holding a different energy and potential that we can tap into depending on what we need or feel. It’s a bit like having a deck of cards where each card opens up a new opportunity or experience, and we can choose which card to play at any given moment to make the most of our day.
