We can get so involved in the quest for better time management that the process itself becomes another monster in our lives and we become slaves to it.
Effective time management can be a tremendously useful thing. It can help us look at how we spend our time. It can help us become more efficient in getting a job done and it can help us learn new ways of doing old things better. None of us is as efficient as we could be and efficiency is useful.
However, when we use any system to support our workaholism, or we get so focused on finding the next best thing, we get sidetracked from our purpose and that system becomes part of the problem.
Hopefully, we can develop better perspectives for evaluating our use of tools and techniques to make our lives more productive and useful. But remember…
I use tools, they don’t use me.
