Today is Take Back Your Time Day, as FC Now reminded me.

The premise of TBYT:

TAKE BACK YOUR TIME DAY is a nationwide initiative to challenge the epidemic of overwork, over-scheduling and time famine that now threatens our health, our families and relationships, our communities and our environment.

TAKE BACK YOUR TIME DAY IS NOT ANTI-WORK. Useful and creative work is essential to happiness. But American life has gotten way out of balance. Producing and consuming more have become the single-minded obsession of the American economy, while other values -- strong families and communities, good health and a clean environment, active citizenship and social justice, time for nature and the soul -- are increasingly neglected.

I really believe in this cause. I'd really like to help.

Of course, by the time I found out it was Take Back Your Time Day, I was already at work and it was too late to take the day off. Or half a day off. But I'm leaving at 6:00. Not one minute of overtime for me, not today.

That counts, doesn't it?
