Chances are good that, at some time in your life, you've taken a time management class, read
about it in books, and tried to use an electronic or paper-based day planner to organize,
prioritize and schedule your day. "Why, with this knowledge and these gadgets," you may ask,
"do I still feel like I can't get everything done I need to?"
The answer is simple. Everything you ever learned about managing time is a complete waste of
time because it doesn't work.
Before you can even begin to manage time, you must learn what time is. A dictionary defines
time as "the point or period at which things occur." Put simply, time is when stuff happens.
There are two types of time: clock time and real time. In clock time, there are 60 seconds in a
minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 365 days in a year. All time passes
equally. When someone turns 50, they are exactly 50 years old, no more or no less.
In real time, all time is relative. Time flies or drags depending on what you're doing. Two hours
at the department of motor vehicles can feel like 12 years. And yet our 12-year-old children
seem to have grown up in only two hours.
