How would you like to have some time doing something you think is important to do?
Join in my project and you will get just that...
'Measure' is an attempt to explore the abstract concepts of time and measurement from a variety of human viewpoints.
It is also a way of using the current emphasis on measuring targets to investigate aspects and interpretations of 'quality'.
Perhaps most importantly for the individual, it is a chance to allocate their energy to a task or activity which they consider to be important.
Use it wisely.
