We focus on, closing time, daylight savings, race against, nick of... • Time is so variable, so based on our experience, that the absolute measure of time is almost meaningless. Don't even get me started about relativity and time travel. • Time on a long bus trip goes so much slower than time spent doing what we love with people we care about. • Time doesn't exist, not in a way that matters to most people. The story we tell ourselves about time, though, is the overriding narrative of our day to day lives.
Recipe for Stress • Management style and Time Management habits produce a feeling of… “There isn’t enough time in the day” • So you make your day fit your “to-do” list instead of making your “to-do” list to fit your schedule
