I don’t have time, I cannot take time, it’s time out, it’s a timing thing, when I get time, where has time gone, if I have time, time restrictions, when time permits and the time battle goes on.
We are coming from an era of time equals money, at least that’s how some heard it said. The more money one makes per hour the higher the value.
When taking time with loved ones I’ve heard, it coined ‘quality time?. I’ve often wondered, who determined the quality?
Looking at time from another angle, is the economy slowdown, simply balancing between time scarcity and heart matters?
There has definitely been a shift from the time slavery of appointment calendars. Technology has upgraded to nearly a paperless system. Palm Pilots, digital phones that do multiple tasks. From photo shooting, to accessing email messages, then there’s the infamous text messaging, we will not forget what can happen when wrongly utilized.
There must be classes one can take to figure out how to navigate the system of technology devices. After having a cell phone for more than four years, I finally surrendered to an upgrade. I am not accustomed to ridding of staples if they function. I took the leap of faith that it would not overpower my capacity to grasp the process.
With upgrades of communication, are we any closer to our fellow humans or ourselves?
And the quest goes on from bigger and better to, ‘smaller is much better.?
Uncluttered, minimized, utilized, undersized, specialized seem to be some of the buzzwords of the time.
‘Taking time for reflection is a worthwhile investment in prevention.?
There is no need to keep on fixing messes if one picks up as one goes about doing tasks.
Preventing problems so there’s no need to hire problem solvers, or seek conflict revolutionists.
Anger management could simply equal speaking the truth before anger takes over as miss-understandings.
It’s all part of the time factors, time management, time slavery, time conflict or whatever other time escapes one needs.
If the economy can slow down the wheel just enough for reflection, thoughts to action, then whatever lies ahead will be more tolerated and welcomed.
‘Time’s only value is that which each of us assign to it.?
Balance it a key component for a time friendly society.
