Time Management #5: The Element of Time and the Great Slippage...

in mindset •  6 years ago 

Hello, dear Steemians!

Here we are with yet another post in our series regarding the philosophy of time management and why it is of highest and utmost importance in your everyday life.

As you know, there are three primary factors when it comes to time management; mind, space, and time.

We have already covered the part of our mind in depth and in our previous post, we discussed the importance of your work space and how its tidiness can contribute to your efficiency. In today’s blog, we will talk about the most important element of time management; the titular ‘Time’

Time is the greatest resource of our humble mortal lives. But the slippage of time is also our greatest foe. Regardless of what approach you have to life, and how well you are familiar with its pitfalls and challenges, time will be your greatest and ultimate adversary.

Imagine an old version of yourself who has not achieved any of his goals. Ask him about his greatest negligence. It would not be money. It would not be friendships. It would not be romantic relationships. It would not be an embodiment of the world outside. His greatest negligence would be time!

For life in reality is a frame of time. Time moves forward. Every second. Every minute. Every hour. Every day. Every week. Every year. Every decade. Time is constantly moving forward. The important question is: Are you moving forward alongside it, or are you ignoring its passage?

As you sit idly by, precious and unrecoverable moments of your life pass. Even now that you are reading this, unredeemable moments are passing. The greatest folly is that most of the time, we are unconscious of the passage of time.

Take a moment to truly contemplate that sentence and savor the irony of time!

Our unconsciousness of the slippage of time and how every day we waste more and more time is the greatest indication of our failure in life. You would cry your eyes out in pain and agony were you to simply consider the time that you have wasted in your life.

Let us do a mental practice. Bear and indulge me as I draw a picture for you.

We all waste time every day of our lives. Consider one of the hours that you have effectively wasted today. Truly think about what you actually did that made the hour go into waste. Now think about the fact that you can never reclaim that hour.

Think about the eternity of time. Think about it as a resource. As a counted measure. That hour is practically lost forever.

Think of all the meaningful and important things that you could have done with that hour of time.
It is pitiful.

It is sad. But do you want to know the real tragedy? That was just an hour. Imagine the days, the months, the years that we have wasted, idly sitting and watching the world around us move forward while we remain in a pit of our own guilt and regret.

How do we change that?

Regret is pointless. Accept the fact that you are never going to reclaim the wasted time. Decide that you are going to use your time effectively from today; from the very moment you close your browser tab and go on to your next task in the day.

Constantly remind yourself of the slippage of time. Write a note and stick it to the wall. Use technology as a reminder. I don’t know how you want to do it, but always be conscious of the slippage of time.

In your newfound consciousness, you will begin to appreciate your moments and your life. Nothing can bring you down. Nothing can stop you. Nothing can make you feel sad. Nothing can make you waste a second of your time.

Being conscious of the slippage of time is the most important factor of time management in your daily routine, and the single greatest lesson of life!

A BIG HUG!

You're right
Combined with the large amount of time people spend on social networks, sometimes without any purpose instead of manage their time, even if it's only an hour, that hour has millions of possibilities to sort their lives and think about what it's more truly important in the daily routine of each one

You would be surprised at how much can be done around the home when the computer is off.

I once saw a meme that said a clean home is the sign of a broken computer.

This post hits home so hard right now. I've been procrastinating heavily and the slippage of time is always sitting there buzzing in the back of my mind. I imagine most people have experienced the same thing. Anyway, I think this is a great reminder to expand our awareness and take advantage of our most precious resource, thanks!

This post make me sad on how much time i have waste since i was born until now . 😢😢

Your very good motivational post is sir. You have written very well, that man expresses time to spend time. We destroy today's precious time in the next day's rotation. And in the end it will come at a time when we feel helpless when we think about this time and feel myself miserable.
Thank you.

Dear @chbartist sir
The use of time forwards to us to success. If we ruin the time, then will be destroyed a day time a day. Apart from this, time management is the basic requirement of the workstation of our life.You need to think about those meaningful and important tasks that we could do with time but could not complete the departure tomorrow.If the time is the habit of time management, then the conditions always adversely.

Time gone can never be redeemed. Time should be spent wisely, it is our greatest resource. Work while there is time. Love while there is time. Live your life while there is time.

Dear @chbartist
its true that never discovered the technology to trap time or get it back to our life yet, for that- Of Course it may require a time machine or something. Now we can only use our time in most efficient ways so that we could never waste it.
Still, apart from it, you should understand that no one can use his 100% time left in his life effectively. it's only for some kinda machine or something, That's not who we are.
Still its relevant to use our this 'forward moving thing' efficiently also for HELPING OTHERS, so that we could never regret about that!!

Excellent article as usual @chbartist
Time management is an art.
It is always a balance. It is important not to think time taken to unwind and relax is a waste of time. De stressing is important lest people can have mental breakdowns in the process of chasing time

@chbartist, In my opinion, we can bring back and earn back anything we want in this Physical World, but one thing is there if gone then gone for once for a life and that is Time. So, we have to maintain the equal pace with the time to reach where we want to reach. Stay blessed. 🙂

I know this all too well as I often become stressed out when I have downtime and am not doing something. Therefore, I always have a to do list of things to do while in downtime. I also find myself multitasking more often then not take advantage of the time as well.

However, one must be careful. It is convoluted. There is nothing really there to accomplish. It is beneficial to be free of the restraints of time, expectations. Ego fulfillment. Rushing here and there to aquire and sequester. The zen tao suggests to ride the razors edge of the present moment through simple observation and study of your breathe. In doing so one can acknowledge a timelessness that corrects many of the stressors of modern day life.

If your wasting of time though is lack of discipline or inexperience. Just say no better time than now. Use the logic that if you get the difficult things responsibly done your free time afterward will be much more rewarding, premack principle.

Much love @chbartist i appreciate your work.

I enjoyed reading this article @chbartist. Effective use of time is what makes the entire humanity different in this vast universe. But still there are people that waste a good part of their lifetime for mere survival activities.

I would say that the reason why we are here is to enjoy every moment of our life. That is life, not the process self imprisonment!

Your points are strong and very relatable. thank you!

@chbartist really sometimes people's start playing with time without know it they grind axe on your leg. They think that's they have long time to improve themselves but slowly slowly it became late. And at last people say only one word alash!
@ankitjnv

Hi, @chbartist

All your posts are so interconnected: the posts about time, mind, social media all these are very very interconnected and we need to really blend them so as to get a nice output.

Enjoyed reading this post thank you.

Time and all the things we have at our disposal we must learn to see them as our resources and not as our simple belongings. There are things, for example, the material things that belong to us, a cell phone, a computer, etc., that would work better if we saw them as a resource, because each of these belongings should be producing for us, and much more in these difficult times . Much more still things that are not material and that do not belong to us, such as time and life, we must learn to manage them.

God is the owner of time and life, and we are his stewards on Earth.

I really agree with you @chbartist ..

We never think how many hours, minutes, second we are wasting in this life...!!

I´m sure that many people are wasting their time thinking about the past and why they missed some opportunities ..

Actually nobody knows how we can stay and grow next to the time...

It is really difficutl because the time change in seconds, and when we see ourselves we are in dreams think something we don´t need in our minds...!!

Please let me say something...:::

One more time your post is really motivational, everything you say is completely right....

Really important if we can think in something important we can do at the same time.....

Actually as you said in your amazing post... I´m not wasting my time reading your article because I´m learning too much about your coaching ..

Thank you so much...!!!

Oh, I can't wait to read this, you're acing it. the-world-needs-you.png

Your mind determines how you play with time. Time must be used wisely in other to make it in life.

Life and time go hand in hand. Bebthe type that doesn't play with life because time can pass you by. Majority today would tell you time is the major problem to them but if well managed can bring progress to your side.

Time is the strong object to humans' life. Our lives are all based with time because ones passed can never be recover.

Ensure you spend your time judiciously because many wasted their time and became useless in life and many used their time well and became influential people and known all over.

Once again, thanks @chbartist.

spot on..

Time management is by far one the most important skills

Once again, a timely blog @chbartist Sir, about TIME. Just think about this simple thing friends.

If we move forward as per the letters of the word T-I-M-E, which in the sense using the time wisely, it will be like sort of building our lives. But at the same time, if we move backwards just like the reverse of the word TIME – “E-M-I-T”(means “giving off” and this gives a negative meaning), which means we are wasting our time and destroying our own lives!

Congratulations @chbartist!
