"Dost thou love life? Then do not squander
time, for that is the stuff life is made of."
Benjamin Franklin
If
you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always got. The term
Time Management can create a
false impression because time cannot be managed. We can only manage
ourselves and our use of time. Time management is really ‘ME’
management. One of the biggest
resources in your life is your time. If you fail
to control it, it will control you. Since the
day that you were born, your whole life has been
a series of events, one after another, day after
day. Everything that you do in your life is an
event. Brushing your teeth, eating, sleeping,
working, watching television, talking,
travelling or studying is an event. Time is a
series of events that occur one after another,
from the past through the present to the future.
If you can organise, manage and control the
events in your life, you are a master of your
time and your life.
To ultimately destroy a tree you must
locate and destroy the root. If doctors,
dentists and surgeons, identified and treated
only symptoms, patients would never be truly
healed. To become an effective time and life
manager you must locate the root causes that
constantly war against you night and day.
"Are your time problems so firmly rooted, that
you are finding it impossible to cope?"
Destroying the fruit or
cutting down the tree will not stop it from
growing. You must dig up the roots. Symptoms
have their perfect place, they let you know that
something is wrong. Treating the symptoms will
only give you temporary relief. If you want
permanent relief you must specialise in dealing
with the root.
Several years ago I was asked
to visit a young lady who was experiencing major
difficulty with her boyfriend. The symptoms of
their problems were easy to understand as I
listened to her. He had robbed and beaten her
badly and now he is imprisoned. To understand
the root cause of their problems, I spent
several days listening to her and visiting the
young man in prison. Fortunately for both of
them the root cause was located and a decision
was made. Finding the root cause of a problem is
a difficult task that can take days, weeks or
even months. Once you have located the root
cause, you now have a major demolition job to
do. Can you eliminate an enemy if you do not
know who or where that enemy is? |

Final
thought
|
|
Time is the only resource I
know that is equally distributed to everyone.
Children, young people, the elderly, rich man,
poor man, beggar man, thieves, Presidents, Prime
Ministers and housewives all have time
distributed to them daily. Everyone has received
the same 86,400 seconds, 1,440 minutes or 24
hours every day of their lives. The real
question is, what are you doing with your time?
Some use their time to make money, go to the
moon, help others and fulfil dreams, while
others do very little with their time.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, all
you have is now, use it or lose
it. |
