Time management is a piece of cake – whatever

TIME MANAGEMENT IS A PIECE OF CAKE— Oh Whatever

Okay this is the second of. Three posts in a row on “time.”  thanks for  using some of. Your time to read this by the. Way. 

It’s  just. 10:30  AM where I am right now...well not now it’s 10 30 and  a grew seconds...oh wait it’s a few seconds. After that....oh crap now it’s. 10:31.   OH goodness now I’m just going to start the stop watch feature on my phone and  when I’m  done I’ll know how long it took me to write this.  

In  the. Post right before this I started. A look at time management because I became fascinated by how we (or I) sometimes determine things like hunger based on what time it is and things like becoming. More effective and efficient. By “saving” time.”  My curiousity set off a series of   Questions in. My mind (I know—that. Doesn’t take much for me.

So I di8d a quick book search on “time management.”  What did I discover?  There  are. A lot of people out there who don’t think I’m using my time very well because they had to write a book about it.  It seems a they want me to use some of my valuable  time  reading their books, listening to their podcasts, and tracking their blogs and maybe some of that would be worth it.  I also learned that there’s a lot of disagreement or variety or viewpoints on the topic... except for the3 fact that most the. Writers  argue that. Most people need help in this area.  So as I suggested yesterday there are a lot of ways  we think we might save time but they don’t really help much—add reading about  time management until you find an exact answer to the list.

In short, most people  have an opinion on time use and  for the most part a lot of them are “toilet opinions”—you know, most people have. One and sometime it’s full of  __it.

So here’s mine and it might be a toilet opinion too.  Time is money.  No it’s not but we  want desperately to make it. So.  We  want. To save it, track it, pay for work by marking it in a computer or punching a time clock.   You know we want to  measure it. In a finite way like how much time  do I have and. How much time  will this take?   We want to somehow own time and  claim it as ours.  We work so very hard to construct time  as something that is.  Linear and measurable.  Human beings. Seem to be obsessed with  that  type of thing.  Take for example we. Have worked our scientific butts off to establish that Stone Henge is some type of astronomic. Calendar.  That do calendars do?  Measure time.   Now I’d like to ask one of the. Ancient druids just. How that whole configuration worked.  Maybe it  on a daily basis or an hourly basis in which case  did they record time that they could measure using  it?  I can’t help but think some pre-historic supervisor going out to a ancient  nomad and. Saying “I want three huts built before the sun passes two of those big upright  stones and I’ll pay you  15 sheep per every third. Of those   Horizontal stones if the roof doesn’t leak.”  

Alright back to my observations on ime for today.... Our culture screams at us that the reason we don’t. Always do what we say we want to do or what someone else wants us to do is because we. Don’t use our time well or we run out of  time and they. Pina negative connotation on it and call us flawed.  My opinion is ... if you ever feel you have. Too much time you  may might not be creating enough or you have reached the end of a rest period.  Perhaps you aren’t  taking advantage of  all the input that is available and.  You are letting your mind and body  just float through life?  I’m not going to judge you for it...it’s. Just something to. Think about.  What works for me on a regular basis is ponder what. My values are and what I can bring to others, then I set my actions into motion.  Then I make mistakes and start over...and then I recycle.  I also assume everything takes just. The amount. Of time it was supposed to take.  People will argue against my view—which is a waste of their time by the way.

To summarize for today... we  seem to have a human need to  make time linear, , measureable, and controllable.  If you don’t feel like. Your time  fits those characteristics, there are a lot of books written to remind you of your inadequacy  when it comes to time.  For me the challenge. Is  creating experiences that use time in ways that I think or feel  represent my values and  that I engage in activities that demonstrate those beliefs.  It doesn’t always work out just right, but the idea that time  management is something  simple and universal just doesn’t  make sense to me... You what does?  Continuing this discussion one more day in about 20 hours from now.  

By the way writing this took 58 minutes and 21.77 seconds.   I’ll set my sun dial  and finish this thread as the shadow grows long on the left side of the circle.  ..
