Time Management is Cause Control, by James Rick
"In the end – great use of time is all we have to master. Everything else falls into place. If we know what we want and we master our time – we are on the surest path to getting there."
(PRWEB) August 8, 2005 -- Recently I've experienced a barrage of time
wasters. Everything you can imagine, most of them unexpected, many of them self
inflicted. It's amazing how fast you can go through minutes.
When I
discovered that time was an illusion of the physical world I decided not to keep
a clock. Even the watch I wore was incorrect. Every clock in my house was
purposely left incorrect. It gave me a sense of pace. I wasn’t keeping time
according to any clock. I was living time.
Of course I had one clock
which worked on my computer in order to keep appointments during appropriate
windows of time. I hadn’t gone totally insane.
I still know that time is
an illusion of the physical. But I realize now the importance of keeping
physical time; not so just so that appointments are met but also because
although time is an illusion of the physical world, we are also very much apart
of that illusion. Like it or not we are not free from the bounds of time. As
long as we live in the physical world we are exposed to the vulnerabilities of
time.
In essence because we can’t beat time we must join it. This means
tracking time and making the best use of it we can. In the end – great use of
time is all we have to master. Everything else falls into place. If we know what
we want and we master our time – we are on the surest path to getting
there.
Time management is easier to say than do. We aren’t managing time.
In fact time manages us; all the time. Since we cannot turn back clocks or speed
them ahead we are simply living in the moment. And in each moment we have
events. These events are either spawned by our own cause or not. In other words
– in the actions we take now we birth new events. This is the cause and effect
relationship we agree to every moment of our lives. Some events are spawned by
unexpected causes. Like the death of a loved one. We must get through these
events and learn the most possible. Then we must utilize our time as effectively
as possible to ensure that most events are the result of our own cause. While we
cannot make events happen exactly the way we’d like them to, we can maintain our
direction in life and maintain action on a regular and time managed
basis.
The most successful people in life are those that seem to control
their time well. They actually just control the events of their lives so well it
looks as though they manage time. When you get to the root of their life events
you discover the causes that created them. It is here we can all model the
success of great ones. It is here we can start now and control the events of our
lives. It is in this very moment through our actions we spark a cause that
becomes the fire of our events. Events are in the end - what we call life.
