Expression: For the time being

For the time being means for now, for this time in general, until something changes.  Here are a few examples:

For the time being, we'll continue meeting on Wednesdays, even though Jeremy can't come.

They've decided not to move for the time being, in order to save money.

Although we realize that a lot of people aren't satisfied with the current system, we'll maintain it for the time being, until we find something better.
