Time does not stand still and we cannot control it or it’s rate of progress but we can control what we do and how we use the time we have. Time management is not about controlling time, just the opposite in fact.
We can sit and stare at the clock watching the seconds tick by or we can rush around doing a thousand things at once. Neither approach is terribly effective at getting things done. Time is not your enemy, though it may sometimes feel like that. Time is time and it was passing before you were born and will continue to do so after you are gone. Time just marches onwards.
The choice we have is about managing our time and how we choose to use the time we have available to us and it is important to understand we do have a choice here. You can sit and do nothing or sit and think about what you plan to do but actually doing things in the least time consuming way we can is the best we can hope for in getting the balance right between time available and the tasks we have to do.
