Temporal Context


Most afternoons are tough. We're on the downside of the day, most our energy expended at this point. This is temporal. There are morning people and night owls. Pick your favorite season. The passage of time establishes a unique linear context where we communicate better or worse. Temporal habits such as eating, sleeping, showing up at work establish a pattern of behavior, some of these patterns are individual and others, like class schedules, are social.

Departures from established temporal contexts warrant attention. Absences, tardies, after hours, any shift away from established temporal baselines is out of its context.
