Living without a clock - day 3

This is currently day 3 of my experiment, here are my observations so far.

I still find myself occasionally trying to guess what's the time, although I stop myself from doing that.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to avoid all clocks per se, unless you go live in a forest.

I like that I no longer focus on the time itself, even if I have a clock available, and just do the task at hand, even if that's relaxing.

A clock is very good for keeping a schedule. It's hard to live without a clock if you have a strict self-imposed time-based schedule, such as going to sleep or pills. I find myself taking an occasional glimpse at a clock in order to be sure I fit in my schedules accordingly.

Although so far, I'm getting my desired result: checking the time less. I'll continue pursuing this experiment insofar I'm satisfied with how often I look at a clock.
