Time Management & your Watch

One thing is clear; every one is obsessed with Time. We are paradoxically pursued by Time, and never seem to have the enough of it. Perhaps this is why we always wear watch on our wrists, hang clock on the walls and put them every where to remind us of this limited resource called “Time” that we have less of it today than we had yesterday. A look at our cell phone or the computer monitor or any other corner around us will show the current time blinking some where. All this gives tons of importance to time and even more to the effective use of Time, through Time Management.

A cursory glance at our wrists often, to check for the time is such a familiar gesture, be it while rushing to catch a flight, entering the meeting room doors, or waiting for a friend. Our wrist watches give us the measure of the time as often as we wish. They have become an extension of our wrist. For ladies especially it’s as good as a piece of jewelry. Thus, whenever we select a wrist watch: we better make sure that this gadget is accurate, reliable, cool to look at and a symbol of our personality.

Personality Statement

The wrist watches play a role that goes much beyond indicating current time and in some cases the date and day as well. Watches are definitely your personality statement. They show your taste, Class, fashion orientation, exclusiveness and of course your commitment to punctuality. For men, they are the best fashion accessory after perhaps the neck tie. To some people their wrist watch is like their high performance motor bike or the automobile, they pay same attention and take same care while selecting a new watch for them.

The Time Management Linkages

Such passion for watches must be translated in to a jest for Time Management as well. What is the point in wearing the most expensive or highest performing watch on your wrist and remaining a Time Management disaster? Time Management is actually Life management. It reflects on your personality, how you are managing your time. In fact as per the Time Management Book “No Such Thing as Time” by G.P. Tripathi (www.acnowsystems.com) we must always be aware of our “NOW” and this can be practiced only after we master the concept of “AcNOW®”. It says that the “NOW” is the only time we have, hence we must promptly act in our now. Yet the problem of our lives is that we waste most of our “NOW” in either worrying about our future or repenting over the past.

Once this art of transcending this cycle of past to future is learnt then time management becomes our second nature. Then the usefulness of the time piece on our wrists multiplies. It gives a new meaning and significance to Time in our life and each moment becomes bliss.
