ABSTRACT
Time is endless but your time is limited. Do you use it to your best advantage? Expressions such as There are not enough hours in the day’, ‘Where does the time go?’ and ‘I’ve got too much time on my hands’ suggest not. These expressions indicate you are not in control of time: you keep chasing after it or are weighed down by it. On the other hand, you may know individuals who pack a lot of productive activity into each day and wonder: ‘How can they do it and I can’t?’ But time is neutral: it does not tick faster on a busy day any more than it ticks slower on a boring or listless day, or favours one person over another. As with the other topics in this book, time management is about self-management; in other words, in order to understand why you do not make the best use of your time, look to yourself.
