Is it possible to manage time? No, it’s not possible. Time is beyond our
control. It’s there whether we notice it, use it wisely or simply waste it. Time
is not a thing that will do our bidding or wait for us to get it.
So, why do we keep on hearing about time management? Honestly? I think
because it sounds great.
‘I’ll try to manage my time better’ sounds much better than ‘I’ll try
not to be a failure next time around’ or ‘Crap! I forget to do it!’
What we could manage is not the time itself for time is a fix thing,
unchangeable, whether we like it or not there’s only 24 hours a day. The
manageable things are our workloads/tasks/promises/commitments etc.
We could not reduce nor add time but we could reduce, add, or even
eliminate our workloads, tasks, promises, commitments, etc to fit into the
amount of time we set for them.
Do we still need to join a time management class? I say why bother when
we don’t even have enough time to do our to do list.
