Many of us take time for granted, but do we truly understand it?
We often believe that we can control time and manage it to suit our needs, but this is simply not the case. Despite the popularity of time management courses, it seems that very few people are able to achieve success with this approach
Time management can be useful as a tool, but it fails to account for the many factors that are beyond our control, which can disrupt our plans and make it difficult to stay on track
And thus, we drift
In addition to these challenges, our attention spans are shrinking. In the age of technology, the average attention span has dropped to just eight seconds. Even if we believe that we can manage our time effectively, we are likely to forget our plans and simply go with the flow until deadlines loom and we are forced to take action
Unfortunately, relying on technology to plan our days can also make us dependent on it, further eroding our attention spans and reducing our overall intelligence
Time waits for no one
Although time management is a valuable tool, it alone cannot guarantee success. To effectively navigate the complexities of time, we must incorporate other tools that enhance our cognitive behavior. This will help us react to the world at our own pace while recognizing the value of time
