Balancing Time

It will be very wrong to say that we have to live only in the present, to experience an experience.

TIME,  one must consider time as past, present and future. Just as the past was the present at one point of time, the future will also be the present at another point of time. So the present in the past and also be present in the future. Therefore, the present is more real. Want me to elaborate.....

Do not reject the past or future. Also do not live only in the past or future. Learn from the past, enjoy the present and plan for the future.

Be present in the past and thereby learn from the past, be present in the future, thereby plan for the future. But, being alive in the present, you will be able to live and enjoy the present. That's why present is more real!

It is said that, one of the major reasons, Hitler lost the World War II was because he did not learn from history. He attacked Russia in winter. Had he learnt from history, he would have known that Napoleon has lost many of his men due to bone-chilling winter in Russia.

One can learn from the past as well as from future, by taking care not to be imprisoned by any.

Similarly, by planning for the future, do not lost the present and miss the wisdom of the past or the opportunities in the future. Well then, one needs to be balanced with reference of time. To be wise, one must master balancing time.....

When required you have to take reference from the past or consider the future. hence, balancing time is very essential.

Still, I end up wondering, what defines the present?

One Hour.

One hour has sixty minutes.

A minute has sixty seconds.

Further, breakdown the second and still further, the essence of the present is lost itself into 'is-ness'.

Time will melt into Timelessness.

Then, how to manage Time?

Decide on your priorities in life.

Prioritise your priorities.

Establish your peak performance time.... during a day.

Monitor your low performance time.

Do any important task at your peak performance time.

Do any less important task at your low performance time.

Identify your time wasters.

Learn to delegate work.

Enjoy your work and you will find there is a lot of time.

Review your priorities from time to time.

Be with people who are good at time management.
