Thoughts on Time
What exactly is time? How does it work? What's the best way to relate to it? I hear so much about time management and just about everyone I know, including myself, have wrestled with this issue. Is there really such a thing as time management? Or is it self-management? Time just is. It doesn't do anything. It's just there. We know it's coming, it passes and then it's history. No way to get it back. We have a real knack of getting ourselves into situations where we feel trapped by time.
These are some distinctions that I feel helpful to reflect on.

Time is a tool that is exclusively mine to play with.
How I spend my time will give me 80% of the fulfillment I desire.
Time is not manageable, but my choices and actions are.
