1 second = Action Time
<Mastery is achieved when there is no separation between thought and
action.>

5 seconds = Melee Round
(Who are you attacking?)

1 minuet = Segment / Detailed Movement
(Where are you attacking? / What are you looking at?)

10 minuets = Turn / Exploration Movement
(Which way are you going?)

1 hour = Detailed Travel
(What are you doing on the way?)

1 day = General Travel
(Where are you going?) <with beards all a-dragin. No knowin, no knowin......
I can't help it. It's coming!>

1 week = Extended Travel / Detailed Study
(What is your focus?)

1 month = General Study
(What is your focus doing for you?)

1 year = Extended Study / Detailed Abstract
(What are you doing for your focus? / What is happening in your world?)

1 decade = General Abstract
(What is your goal?)

1 generation = Extended Abstract
(Why?)
