Enslaved by our own time or by your own self? Pointers about time management have passed our eras many times, yet how well do we really know it?
Aleck Mackenzie, organizer of time management seminar in 40 countries, lists some familiar mistaken notions about time management.
- Time management is nothing but common sense. Almost all the solutions to time management problems are as simple as the dos and don'ts. What's not simple, however, is the self-discipline that goes with them.
- I work better under pressure. Untrue. Nobody works better under pressure, especially that of time. What really happens is that we do our best out of the remaining time we have. Procrastination deprives us chance for planning that could otherwise yields superior results.
- Learning time management is simply managing one's time. This is the biggest misconception of all. Time cannot be managed. We can only manage ourselves in relation to time. Time is a finite resource. We can't add hours to what is only available. We can only control how to spend some that are at hand. What is gained from time management is not more time, but a better life--productive, stress-free, balanced, and more successful.
