Quite frankly, I don't think "time" is the problem. The real problem is the number of activities or tasks that we take on. A sign of our time is that we forget how to say "no", and take on far too many things. Oprah Winfrey said it well, I've learned that you can't have everything and do everything at the same time." Our time is like jam, the more you try to spread it, the thinner it gets. We need to be realistic about the amount of time we have available and use our time wisely. Josh Billings once said, Time is like money, the less we have of it to spare the further we make it go." We need to maintain a proper balance in our life by allocating the time we have. There are occasions where saying no is the best time management practice there is. To quote Carl Sandburg, Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you." We need to determine what activities best utilize our time in order to achieve the results we desire in all areas of our life! |
