What do you mean by "drastic"? Why waste time indulging in your fantasies of the past and future? Especially when you've got the greatest gift of all - Now -- jumping up and down like a puppy, trying to lick your face and get your attention.

Worrying about what might happen and fretting about what has already happened is like spitting in the face of your mom when she brings you a chocolate cake.

By the way, I don't consider making plans for the future (non-worrying) and evaluating past events (non-regretting) to be fantasy -- you can plan and evaluate and still be living completely in the moment. Maybe what you mean by "drastic" is that you think I'm suggesting you should give those things up? I'm not.

But "measuring time": what good is it except for planning and evaluating? Why bother, otherwise?
