FORGET TIME MANAGEMENT

The Encarta English dictionary specifies “Management” as the organizing, directing, dealing with or controlling of. The very same dictionary defines “Time” as a period or minute. Knowing this, possibly the meaning of “Time management” (TM) is not to be taken actually. But for several years I behaved like I might manage Time and the clock and the calendar just worried me out. It wasn’t until it happened to me that what in fact wore me down, were “Numbers”. It was a sober awakening from the illusion that I could in fact handle time.

Prior to numbers (BN) there were only 2 times; light time and dark time and what mattered was what could get performed in order to make it through while those times lasted. BN it was always NowO’ Clock and guy was just as old as he/she was able to do what was required to live.

Today, survival has little to do with day time or night time. We now reside in a 24/7 period where we are categorized according to the phase of life we remain in. The following matching numbers are appointed: At 13, we are called teen agers; at 16, we can legally drive; at 18, we can vote and at 21, we can drink (lawfully!). These numbers are merely “Markers” and to reach them, we need only to be alive at the time.

There are likewise corresponding numbers for specific times we commemorate. Here are a couple of you know. January 1, New Year’s Day, February 14, Valentine’s Day, July 4, Independence Day, December 25, Christmas and, naturally, Birthdays. What are left are so-called “normal” days; days that are not marked for a special occasion. Nevertheless, I want to bet that the majority of the great times you have actually ever had were on “ordinary” days. Tuesdays are my favorite “ordinary” days. They tiptoe by quietly on the heels of Wednesday (Bulge Day); the only day with a label.

It is on to building a profession and a life. It is the 9 to 5, 40 hour work week; the long hours, days, weeks and years pursuing goals and chasing after dollars while we’re still “young”. “If you haven’t attained your goal prior to the age of 40, you may as well forget it”. Whoever said that had to neglect the many stories of people achieving success way beyond 40; evidence, once again, that 40 is simply a ‘marker’ and that success does not have an expiration date; it never ever arrives far too late.

I lived till 55, and was received senior discounts. Yea !! However, life continued to occur and more typically, I could hear the defiance of numbers by people stating things like, “age is simply a number”,” it is not how old you are however how young you feel”, “I do not look my age”, and on and on. At this phase, birthdays are celebrated with some degree of anxiety. There is no brake we can step on to decrease Time. The idea of Time management is now in the rearview mirror and Health management becomes the fixation dujour. For the majority of us this is called “retirement age” and this to have a corresponding number someplace in between 62 and 67.

It is a time when we are more mindful of our death; a time when we start doing what we should have been doing all along; handling our energy (health); something we constantly had more control over however had actually relinquished it to Time Management; monitoring Mathematical Time.

Now, don’t get me wrong, numbers have utility in our lives and in many cases conserve lives. For instance, it is one thing to state that cyclone “Wind Blow” will make landfall soon, as opposed to stating that it will land in 72 hours or taking prescription medication every 4 hours for optimum efficacy. I make certain you can think about other examples.

In my awareness of everything, I have moved my focus more on managing my energy and less on marking Time. Naturally, I do not ignore the numbers. I get things done by a time they need to be done. However, I am not so worried with the unavoidable passage of Mathematical Time. I speed myself as I live in Time doing what I need to do while bearing in mind the truth that my life energy has always increased at a decreasing rate and that Time is a consistent I have definitely no control over.

It is never prematurely or far too late to start moving your focus from time management to energy management. I utilized to inform my children that when doing research, they need to start with the most challenging to the most convenient, due to the fact that by the end of the school day they’re psychologically and physically fatigued. They are damaged; concentrating becomes challenging and it is hard to stay awake. I utilize the same technique when exercising. On various days I change my program. One day I would I begin with heavy to light; on another, I would go light to heavy. Handling my energy appropriately has actually been advantageous for me in all aspects of my life. Now I work, play and sleep much better. I still need to handle that darn alarm clock. What am I going to do?

But why would I wish to do the impossible (handle Time). It does not matter what has actually to get done. I will always run out of energy before I lack time. By the way, have you ever heard a meteorologist talk about “Weather management”? If you had, you would believe the meteorologist was insane, would not you. Well, we can no more handle Time, than we can manage the weather.

The clock and the calendar, (markers of time), can be instruments of tension if you let it. Listen, we were born in Time and when we die it will simply be because we lacked life, not time. Moving my focus from TM to Energy management (EM) and having my own EM formula, has actually made my life so much less stressful.

What would this be like for you? Possibly you may want to attempt EM. A minimum of provide it some thought. Create your own formula; Find your own balance and speed yourself. It is something you can really carry out in genuine time. However, be conscious that Time just is, and it elapses as it does and there is nothing anybody can do to stop, stop briefly, rewind or fast forward it. There is simply no arranging, directing, handling or managing Time.

Life is a “doing” proposition and doing needs Energy. Time on the other hand, just is, concerns regardless of. When we talk about “costs time”, we disregard the reality that it is Time that invests us all into “Nothingness”. We commonly describe this expense as Death. As I discussed in the past, we do not run out of Time, we merely run out of Life.

Time is a continuous; duration. Energy on the other hand, is something we can attempt to preserve, at least briefly. Managing Energy in regards to how and for what we use it might vary in intensity; just as crucial, is saving and replenishing energy through rest, workout and nutrition.

If you do not have the energy you would like or require to have, then it refers starting an Energy strategy or program. Obviously, if your absence of energy is due to a genuine physical failure, then a modified routine could be followed in a manner that does not result in aggravating your condition, however improves your energy moderately or within affordable levels. I highly suggest the guidance and guidance of a nutritionist and or a physical fitness coach. For those who are now delighting in the greatest energy level ever, there will constantly be constraints; restrictions that are just attributable to that which is difficult to handle; Time.

Human beings are not devices and even makers require down-time in order to manage wear and tear as a way to maximize their useful life. Then they are changed. Humans ultimately run out of life. It’s that basic.

I continue to live according to my own balance and I speed myself appropriately.

I utilize my Energy as Time expires and while being conscious that the amount of energy I have continues to increase at a decreasing rate which this fundamental financial postulate does not use to Time; numerical or otherwise.
