Caring for patients, clients, or family members keeps care workers incredibly busy—but where does that time go? Our society and economy are so focused on win-lose scenarios, it’s easy to forget that when we give freely of our time and care, we don’t come out at a loss. Instead, we—not to mention our community—get so much more in return.
In the second minisode of the Care Work Podcast, host Alida Miranda-Wolff discusses how care work relates to cultivating a garden, a concept explored by the author Jenny Odell.
Listen to Alida unearth some of society’s misunderstandings:
- The concept of time as a finite resource
- Society’s fascination with zero-sum games
- Undervaluing the time given by those who came before us
- The notion that we must lose time if we give time
