My play idea is a girl who plans out her time hour by hour. She even plans out her weekends, designating time for eating, homework, taking a walk, spending time relaxing, etc. She relies on her watch to let her know if she’s on track. However, by being so reliant on her schedule, she often misses out on spontaneity and having fun, and things like relaxing are overshadowed by knowing that in a few minutes, her scheduled “homework time” begins. One day she loses her watch, and at first she’s distraught. She now has to go about her day with no reference for whether she’s on schedule. She ends up realizing what she’s been missing by confining herself to her schedule.
