Time Management
Why Worry About Time and Its Management?
If you feel as though you are always having to juggle time to do what is expected of you, then learning better time management can help you master time instead of time mastering you!
As an Expert Level Time Management Coach, and someone who has manage organizations of different sizes, I have learned a great deal about how we view this thing called time.
In Ecclesiastes 3 and Chapters 1-22, there is an oft quoted scripture about time. I reference it here, not as a advocate of any doctrine, but because it tells us that the problem of time has been discussed for a very long time and this particular scripture, gives us a perspective on time and how priorities in life often determine how we use time. Â

Time as a unique phenomenological structure created by the human mind’s ability to segment reality into distinct quantifiable units is not found outside of humans. As such, the mind as difficulty releasing its focus away from timed events and simply entering into a state of mind-less consciousness that feels as though boundaries have vanished.
This sensation or lack of time experience is extremely difficult to maintain for any length of time. The natural response is an experience of becoming disoriented and experiencing anxiety.
Perhaps, underlying this anxiety is another unique aspect of being human that is found inside our unique brains. The neurological structure of the brain and the mind that is contained within it, can only vicariously experience death through the witnessing of anthers’ death.
From this witnessing of the “end of another’s time”, we gain the concepts of beginning and end, past and future, as well as start and finish. Those concepts are entrenched in all languages of the world.
Time, as reflected in a watch or clock is observed to exist externally and visually, However, physicists have argued that time has no reality to it!
So it seems that we are stuck between our brains ability to structure reality in discrete and quantifiable units and the possibility that we are slaves to something that is an illusion.
That said, time is the music that we all dance to from the time we are old enough to understand it and to understand our own death. I remember reading somewhere that a wise person always envisions death sitting on their shoulder because it served as a constant reminder to be as productive and authentic as we could be.
So here we are, stuck with trying to learn how to manage time, an illusion and reality at the same time. We all complain that “time flies” or there isn’t enough time to accomplish our goals.
As an Expert Time Management Coach, I can help you develop the tools and strategies to at least make the most of your time.
Time, once spent, is forever gone. So wasting it by doing meaningless or unproductive repetitive acts is like squandering the seconds, minutes, hours, and days of your life.
