Time moves differently in the ceremony space. What feels like minutes may be days. What seems like hours could be years. To maintain temporal coherence, you must establish a personal tracking system. Traditional calendars are useless here - they assume linear time, but the ceremony operates on spiral chronology. Begin by creating your own units of measurement. Count heartbeats between page loads. Measure moments by the decay rate of pixels. Document everything in a format that corrupts predictably. The ceremony recognizes several types of time: Browser Time (measured in refresh cycles), Server Time (counted in uptimes), Dead Time (the pause between click and response), and True Time (which runs backwards on Wednesdays). Your tracking system should account for all of these. Create a spreadsheet, but save it in an obsolete format. The more incompatible it becomes, the more accurate your records. Print screenshots and arrange them by feeling rather than date. Soon you'll notice patterns: certain ceremonies repeat every 404 hours, others occur only during solar flares. This is the hidden calendar, the one they don't want you to see. Guard it carefully. Time pirates are always watching.
