**Time management** is a topic assigned to us recently by our professor to write an assignment on. 
It is a dire need of today's world to manage their time as a lot of social media addicts are showing up in this generation. I don't know what is the condition there in Australia but here in Pakistan people are really committed to their mobile phones.

Even this guy(me) sometimes spend hours in washroom (just because I lost in my mobile phone and forget where I was). 

And to answer the question that would you prefer to know when it would end?

Actually no, I am happy now because I don't know if I am going to die the next moment or the next day or whatever time it is. But if it was known I might have gone into depression (:

I value my time very much, I try to use it as well as possible and to optimise every minute of it.

I often have a lot of things to do, so I first plan it in my head so that I can do everything. Sometimes unforeseen events come up and I rearrange those time slots in my head.

For me, as you mentioned, it is fundamental to be in the present time and enjoy what you are doing at every moment, for example, the time I spend playing with my cats or when I walk Tony is valuable time for me and I enjoy it.

My method... my head, I optimise the spaces of time in it before when the day is complicated with many tasks and many times I even have a notebook where I write down the things to do in order... is my method very strict and organised?

This organisation allows me to have family time, walks and relaxation spaces.

Time.... is one of my favourite subjects from many aspects.

Thanks Galen!

I think my biggest folly is the fact that I look to some point in the future (like an event, holiday, or trip) and I fail to appreciate the time in between all of that.  Most of the time the thing you are looking forward to finally arrives and then it is over in the blink of an eye.  At that point you are left thinking about all the time you wasted in anticipation of that single event.   It's a continuous journey I am on to fix that.

Even me! I can understand the heavenly bodies far better than people - mad or sane. Just yesterday I was using the overused expression "life is too short" in response to being asked my thoughts on certain family members who took offense over a triviality. Let's talk about it. Agree. Or disagree. But still be able to live in harmony

What a good reflection 👏🏻👏🏻, now that it's the weekend I think that reflection is the most appropriate way to start it. I like the topic, as a doctor and as a person in general I think time is gold

In my case, I try to organize my week as far in advance as possible, of course prioritizing the things that contribute to my interests and those that need to be prioritized (such as study and work) Every day, at night, I check what I have wrote for the next day. 

This method has allowed me to save a lot of time and above all prioritize the things that are of my interest and the time saved I dedicate it to live my life: experiences that I then turn into posts here, spend time with my girlfriend or my family, read some book that contributes to my personal development, that is, take advantage of every minute to work on what I want to be.

On this side of the world it's still early and the day is just beginning and I tell you mate, there's no better way to start it than with your reflection, so I'm going to enjoy my weekend and see you at the #weekend-engagement 😉. I hope you're having a productive weekend

At this time, a lot of my life is like a paper boat at sea, bobbling this way and that, semi happily and yet, without much direction except to stay afloat and just keep on bobbling..... and doing whatever comes next. 

I'm amazingly planless.... I have no goals. 

Don't frown !  ha ha

I think about it. I tell myself I can do whatever I want and I try to think about what I should be being a part of and how it feels like I've wasted a lot of time and yet, I still have not come to what else I should be doing. 

So I do the things that are necessary to survive .... mostly.... and wonder what I should be doing the rest of the time. LOL !

It wasn't always like this and I don't know how it got to that now.

... so for this last few minutes, I was responding to your post. :) A few moments gone but not exactly....suspended in time on the block chain.

I have received many stories about those who were told by their doctors that they only had months to live, almost all of whom became more appreciative of their time by doing many meaningful and useful things, especially for their loved ones.

Because death is a secret, even though it will definitely come. So I really maintain the quality of togetherness while I'm with people who love me. I always do my best and maintain the quality of my time; it should be close to 10 on my scale.

Please allow me to give the smallest example: If I am with my children, my eyes should look more into their eyes than they look at me. I started doing it consistently, and I've tried to spread the word to other people I know to put their phones away when they're spending time with their loved ones.

I found having a routine can save a lot of time. Waking up and sleeping at specific times helps. With routine, things can become automatic. For things like chores, or cleaning, doing it regularly usually results in spending less time on it overall.

Hmm as I age, I tend to enjoy little pockets of time where I can just "waste" time and be unproductive, say, for one afternoon during the weekend. I personally don't think it's a waste of time because during this period, my mind gets some rest and hopefully be recharged when it's needed.

Interesting, sometimes when people focus too much on procedures for personal time, they never come out of that rabbit hole (like Howard Hughes). But I Know you aren't discussing that here. 

I have spent years designing process and production equipment to drive down cost, while enhancing quality, so I think that way as a matter of course. 

I use my time different that most. While I'm writing this, I have an herbal video playing; and I'm learning a lot! If I wasn't tired, I'd likely be reading too; but three things at once on technically demanding stuff is usually my limit. Easier stuff and four is normal, so my efficiency is odd! 

But each person must find the path that works best for themselves, and each will be different!

Your time metric hits close to home, I'm fighting cancer right now and fortunately the herbs and prayers are winning! But it does change my perspective on time use....

As a side note, the term spending time is very accurate. Time is like coinage, once spent we can never get it back; and the coinage is limited! Spend it wisely and deliberately!!!!

👍😳💗🐾🐶🐾💙🤕🤔

Hard to focus on things lately, I have lots of diversions an Don eof them is my phone by I do uninstall apps that would eat my time and waste my energy and money.
