About Temporacy

Most organizations treat time as a neutral background variable — something to measure, optimize, compress, or fill. We start from a different premise: time is an active architecture. It shapes behavior, decision-making, coordination, failure, and recovery long before strategy or culture do.

Temporacy exists to make those temporal structures visible.

What We Study

We research how organizations experience, structure, and mismanage time across multiple scales:

• Rhythms — cycles of work, rest, decision, and attention
• Sequencing — what must happen before something else can meaningfully occur
• Tempo — the speed at which decisions and actions unfold
• Duration — short-term events, medium-term patterns, and long-term trajectories
• Synchronization — how teams, systems, and institutions fall into or out of alignment
• Decay and recovery — why some organizational capabilities erode while others regenerate

Across domains as diverse as biology, military strategy, industrial systems, psychology, and history, we repeatedly encounter the same insight: when timing is wrong, even good decisions fail.

Our Approach

Temporacy is not a consultancy, a productivity system, or a time-management philosophy.

We operate as a conceptual research lab, working through:

• cross-domain synthesis
• case-based analysis
• conceptual development and refinement
• pattern detection across unrelated fields
• language-building for poorly named phenomena

Many failures labeled as “execution problems,” “culture issues,” or “leadership breakdowns” are, on closer inspection, temporal architecture failures. Our work aims to surface those structures before they become visible as crises.

What You’ll Find Here

Temporacy publishes research notes, conceptual essays, and analytical frameworks rather than advice or prescriptions.

You’ll encounter:

• concepts such as temporal debt, polytemporality, kairos, rhythmic misalignment, and organizational decay
• diagnostic lenses for understanding why organizations stall, fragment, or lose coherence
• case studies drawn from industry, history, and culture
• explorations of time as it is lived, structured, and governed — not merely measured

This work is cumulative. Articles build on one another. Ideas remain open to revision.

What We Don’t Do

Temporacy does not:

• offer productivity hacks or optimization tactics
• reduce time to efficiency metrics
• promise universal solutions
• chase trends or managerial fashions

Our interest is not in accelerating organizations, but in helping them move at the right time, in the right sequence, and at the right scale.

Why This Matters

Organizations increasingly operate in conditions of simultaneity, overload, and compressed horizons. Decisions arrive faster than sense-making. Strategy collapses into reaction. Long-term consequences become invisible.

Without temporal literacy, even well-resourced institutions drift into predictable failure modes.

Temporacy exists to develop that literacy.

An Ongoing Inquiry

This work is deliberately unfinished.

Temporacy is a place for sustained inquiry into one of the most underexamined forces shaping modern organizations: time itself.

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 over 20 years of operational experience. Interested in the temporal structures that shape every moment — but rarely get named.
