About Temporacy
An inquiry into the hidden temporalities of organizational life.
Organizations run on clock time. Calendars, deadlines, quarters, billable hours. Time as a resource—something to schedule, measure, optimize.
But clock time is only one temporality. And it's the only one we see.
Beneath the calendar, other kinds of time are shaping everything:
The ripe moment — When an impossible decision suddenly becomes obvious. When a conversation shifts. When the opening appears and closes. The Greeks called this Kairos. Organizations experience it constantly and have no language for it.
The recurring cycle — Not fiscal quarters, but the actual rhythms of energy and depletion. The shape that repeats across projects, teams, and the lifetimes of a company. Pattern beneath pattern.
Situational time — Not "what stage are we at" but "what kind of time is this?" Waiting time. Forcing time. Dissolution time. Each configuration has its own nature, its own possibilities.
The weight of deferred futures — Everything postponed accumulates. The decisions not made, the debts not paid, the reckonings delayed. This weight shapes the present invisibly.
Depth time — Moments when work touches meaning. When the purpose is present, not just mentioned. Rare in most organizations. Felt immediately when it appears.
These temporalities interact, conflict, and shape outcomes—while remaining invisible. Organizations optimize clock time and wonder why they're still exhausted.
What We're Doing
We're learning to see.
This is early-stage research. We don't have a methodology to sell. We have a question:
What hidden temporal structures shape and develop organizational life?
We're observing and developing language and mapping something that hasn't been mapped.
The ancient traditions understood multiple temporalities—the Greeks, the I Ching, the Vedic concepts of cosmic rhythm. Modern organizations have forgotten. We're trying to recover what was known and discover what wasn't.
Who We Are
Filip Vostal — Sociologist of time and acceleration. Studies how institutions speed up, what they lose, and what remains invisible in the process.
Pavel Fidler — Organizational designer with 20+ years in operations. Interested in the temporal structures that shape every moment but never get named.
Join the Inquiry
We're looking for observers.
Not followers. Not an audience. People who want to look alongside us. Who notices temporal patterns in their own organizations. Those who are willing to report what they see.
If you're curious about what's actually shaping your relationship with time—beyond the calendar—we'd like to hear from you.
This is an open inquiry. The map doesn't exist yet. We're drawing it together.
