In back-to-school season, we are reminded of learning.
Learning new things.
Learning how to do things better.
Learning to use our TIME better.
We often hear people talk about time management, but can we really manage time?
After all, we all have the same 24 hours in a day (but clearly some of us have more responsibilities to manage WITHIN those 24 hours).
Although we can’t create more time out of thin air, we can get better at how we use our time.
So if we can’t manage time, what is it that we are managing?
We are managing OURSELVES. Managing our MINDS.
This is good news because “ourselves” is the easiest thing to manage.
Or if not easy, at least it is what we have the most CONTROL over.
Because we have ZERO control over the passing of the hours, days, or years.
Only over how we use them.
So time management is really about
(a) how we allocate our time to our daily activities, and
(b) how well we use our time within any given task

Although some people have the goal of getting work done in less time so they can do more work. To each his own …
