Time (Priority) Management - Part 1
Update: 2025-10-09
Description
Time management is a fallacy. Time doesn't need you to "manage" it - it's been getting along just fine without you for billions of years. We can't manage time. What we CAN manage is what we do with that time. And yet, the overwhelming evidence is that professionals and managers do NOT "manage what they do with that time."
There's a shocking CHASM between our behavior in this area and our knowledge of what to do. Everyone always talks about how busy they are, but when you look at their calendars, there's often no EVIDENCE that they're busy. There are vast swaths of unscheduled time!
So, the question is, how can we start to become more efficient about using the time that each of us has at our disposal? In fact, that's a great way to state it: STOP disposing of your time! It's not only your most precious resource, it's also your most perishable.
