There’s an old saying that goes “time flies when you’re having fun.” For dads, we can tweak that to say “time flies when you have kids.” Because life seems to go into overdrive once you add those little ones into the picture and the next thing you know, the days, weeks, months, and years have passed by. If you’re not careful, you’ll find yourself in one of those rare, quiet moments wondering where the time went.
It's interesting that some writers think of children as "time thieves," but I like how you capture the value of time with children. They're more worthy of our time than any professional goal. I wrote about that this week on The Recovering Academic: https://joshuadolezal.substack.com/p/do-you-really-lose-a-book-for-every?r=16vgt&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
