Abstract: Abstract This chapter lists seven challenges related to studying time and temporality. The presented list is not exhaustive but aims to point to the main issues that repeatedly surface when we try to theorize about time and temporality. While this chapter does not analyse empirical challenges related to time and temporality, it does not mean that these are not existing or are irrelevant. The main issues seem to be rooted in general culturally and socially taken-for-granted approach to time, our simultaneous living in and living time, and our deeply rooted spatial thinking. It seems that when thinking about and analysing time, we tend to get trapped in spatial metaphors. Concerning metaphors, I dare to recommend the metaphor of constant weaving and re-weaving as the continuous creation of reality and the field of possibilities.
