I used to try to manage time. In fact I've been both a teacher and a student of time management. Now days I wish I had back all the time I spent trying to manage it- not to mention the money I spent on it. You see, when you're trying to manage time it requires a lot of tools designed to help you get organized. Now I realize that all these organizational tools are just more stuff that I have to organize.
Now I spend the time I used to spend on time management, doing the things I couldn't get to, because I thought I had to manage my time first. Like spending time with my family and friends, walking & cycling, reading and writing.
Oh, I was reading before too- but I was reading about things like time management. Now that I've let go of trying to manage my time, I read things I enjoy.
I've tossed out a lot of planners and organizers and it's freed up a lot of the time I used to spend trying to organize. It saves me money too, which means I don't have to work so much and so I have more time.
Its taken my a long time - which is okay now that I know there's plenty more of it to come-but I realize the way to finding enough time, is to stop looking for it and let it go. After all, don't you have better things to do with your time?
