Time Management Truths

By Peter de Jager, Change Management Consultant, http://technobility.com/

The butterfly counts not months but moments, And has time enough. Rabindranath Tagore

Time enough... Enough for what? That's the key. Work is infinite, your time, tallied by months or moments, finite. So consciously select what you place between the start of your allotted time, and your ending.

Your time is measured, by four score and ten, or nine to five. So the time you chose to use, and task you use it for, deserve careful measure.

There's work enough for having, it piles both high and deep. And others will gladly offer... to keep it steep, not neat.

Time ignores any attempt at 'time management' it flows at its own pace. All you can do is choose what you're doing while it flies on by.

Set a goal, or goals, and ask yourself at every moment, if what you've chosen to do (or find yourself doing) advances you towards them. If not... Either the goal you've chosen isn't the right one, or an unworthy task has snared your time.

There is no such thing as 'time management', there is such a thing as the conscious selection of your attention.
