Studies show 9/10 People Daydream Their Way Through the 17 Million Meetings/Day in US From: Thursday, February 18, 2021
February is National Time Management Month.
Good luck with that. The average person has already tried 13 different methods to get a grip on the tyranny of time, and this is not new. Calendars were invented about 5000 years ago to help us track the annual flooding of the Nile because life and agriculture depended on knowing when the floods would begin. So we made up time to serve us, rather than the other way around! Let me repeat that, excerpted from : [W]e created time to help us to survive and to thriveânot to torture us the way we have let it, it seems
Bhagavad Gita, written thousands of years ago:
I am come as Time, the waster of peoples,
ready for the hour that ripens to their ruin.â
Whoâs in Charge?
Whoâs in charge here? Are we really going to let this abstract thing we made up define our lives? But there are only twenty-four hours in a day, you say; what can we do about that? We donât have to do anything about that because there are plenty enough hours in the day when we are spending them right.
Yes, that is right, all we need to do is take back the power. Put the executive brain in charge of time. Multitasking is not your friend. And neither is mind wandering all over the place for the fun of it. Both are energy sucks. And energy is time, because in a clear and focused state of high energy we get more done. And we get it done right, so we donât have to waste time doing it all over again.
Time is one gift that we are all given equally. Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. The only variable is how many years we each have. And that alone is reason enough to make every minute count.
Have you ever wondered where all your time goes?
The average person spends seven years in the bathroom, six years eating, four years cleaning house, five years waiting in line, two years trying to return phone calls to people who aren t there, three years preparing meals, one year searching for misplaced items and six months waiting at red lights.
