I've written an article for the superb Taking Time. It introduces the concept of 'future gifting' – a way to engage with your future in a more generous way. You can read it here... takingti.me/articles/futur…


"At its heart, future-gifting invites you to get to know your future-self. It encourages you to see the world through their eyes. You might even begin to see them as a friend that you’d like to help." James Janson Young via Taking Time takingti.me/articles/futur…

Or read weekly articles from Taking Time about time, how to think about it and use it (with a number of contributions talking about long term thinking) e.g. takingti.me/articles/futur…

Photographer Quintin Lake spent 5 years walking the 7000 mile perimeter of the UK, capturing the drama and beauty of the coastline. His expansive journey on foot invited him to consider himself in relation to place and time. takingti.me/articles/thepe…


The pandemic forced me to start walking through woodlands and along canals. Often I did so with a camera slung over my shoulder and walking has helped greatly to get my creative juices going. All I can say is that in a way I'm incredibly jealous of Quintin Lake walking journey.

The practice of giving our time will invite many of us to revisit our existing priorities and commitments. Being bound by our employers can inflict a sense of being trapped without the autonomy to decide for ourselves how our time is used. Taking Time takingti.me/articles/timet…
