Time's Up

I registered my business on the 13th, and my last day of work was a Friday the 13th. That was 17 years ago and it's been an amazing ride, so I'm a big fan of the number 13 (OK, that's a bit Sesame Street). Can The Manifesto deliver for this fine numeral? Of course:

13. Slow down
Desynchronize from standard time frames and surprising opportunities may present themselves.

On an obvious level, you could stuff that trusty 4/4 mantra in a box and tackle a new time signature. I wrote a song to a cheesy Casio Latin beat once and even though I wound up playing it as a solo guitar tune, it had a totally fresh feel for me.

Time is a funny thing. We experience it in many different ways and that shows up in our language – we say time crawls, flies, stands still and even disappears (I won't get into how it reverses). What we observe depends a lot on our sense of time. We tend to notice what's moving at roughly same pace. We don't notice, for example, that mountains are moving (geological time) or that light travels (Eins-time). There's plenty in between these extremes that we constantly overlook. What would you write about if you suddenly noticed?
