Control of Time

 
Description: In a world where everything is happening at a faster and faster pace why are we allowing ourselves to be controlled so ... more
Control of Time ... strictly by time? We set ourselves specific times to eat, work, sleep, and socialise but where do we give ourselves freedom? It appears we have lost a great deal of our flexibility and increased our ability or need to control that which happens around us. Surely this means a greater amount of expectation and attachment to results and therefore a greater increase in stress? What are your thoughts on this topic?

Newest Review: ... of 24 hours, each hour is 60 minutes, each minute is 60 seconds. Each minute is actually a LONG time, if it had to be. Just to prove my point. Count with me. 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 and, someone has now rated this NOT USEFUL probably, and 6 and, most of the few people who read reviews have skipped past this now, and 8 and 9 and 10 and ... OK you get my point, if you were to continue to 60, ... more

Crowned Review Control of Time: Don't listen to that Dr WHO! You are the LORD OF TIME! (786 words)

Time these days is seemingly something which is in short supply for all of us. Few of us have have time to cook, or share a meal as a family. Even fewer have time for personal hobbies. In fact, we barely have time for each other. Yet things are far more convenient than they ever were. I am sure most of us can think of at least a dozen or more time-saving devices which we all have in our homes. Our supermarket shelves are packed with time saving ready meals, we don't even have to trapse around the supermarkets aisles, we can shop from our very living rooms online. So what is going on. Why do we no longer have the time for anything. In our modern ...  Read the complete review

"A person should sethis goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talent to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive." Walt Disney 1901 - 1966 I have recently signed up for a course in Goal Setting and Time Management by a company called MLP Training. The course is for one day at the Bolholt Country Park Hotel in Bury - http://www.mlptraining.co.uk/course/4/Goal_Setting___Time_Management I thought that I would do a little bit of research into time management, the different ways I ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Control of Time: Got a Minute? (434 words)
by - written on 16/09/03 (14 readings)
Rating:

If there is silence, we fill it with noise; If it is white, we fill it with colour; If there is peace, we fill it with war; If time is ours, we give it away. It is in our nature to stretch ourselves, to fidget and fuss and tinker. It takes discipline not to hurry and agitate for every second of the day. It takes discipline to be still. Everything tangible around us is defined in time. We are increasingly conscious of it. First, we were aware of it as light and darkness, then as seasons. The introduction of sundials and clocks and the calendars united man the world over in trying to control time. Our microwave meal, telephone bill, parking ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Tempus fugit (657 words)
by - written on 31/07/02 (Very useful, 47 readings)
Rating:

When I was young (a lot more younger than today..), time seemed longer and drawn out. The first 10yrs of my life felt very long; and I thought that my descent into teendom and early adulthood would seem as equally long. Life was going to be longer than people were saying at the time. But as you many know, your teens whizz by; and though I'm not particularly old, it's odd to think in 7yrs time I'll be 30 (not hugely old too, but you get my drift). I certainly don't feel it. On the surface level it does seem quite sad that most of us lead robotic lives. We all have schedules or routines, or designated times for work, rest and play; but ...  Read the complete review

Control of Time: Mayflies (343 words)

Our lifespan is extraordinarily brief in relation to the universe we live in, like that of the mayfly to its meadow. We deliberately forget that of course - if we did not I suspect we would be crushed by the enormity of it all. But gazing into the night sky we are reminded, and the light of those stars illuminates our lives in ways that can take our breath away. It was 1997, and the night of the comet Hale Bopp. My girlfriend and I stood together in an otherwise empty park waiting for the comet to pass overhead. We stood there awhile, eagerness gradually slipping into disappointment as we scanned the empty heavens. Then I saw it, hidden behind a cloud, ...  Read the complete review
