Time Management - Part 1

How do you respond to deadlines? How would you feel if someone said "Hurry up, the clock is ticking and we've got to get this done!"? How well do you cope with pressure? Isn't it amazing to notice how radically your understanding of passing time changes depending on the situation, with little association to the steady flow of time as shown on a clock.

Have you ever sat in a room with a clock on the wall that went "tick tock, tick tock" over and over and over again, until such time that you either wanted to run out of the room, or break the clock? This kind of experience is especially agonizing when you are waiting for something that you really are not looking forward to, like a cure from your dentist. In particular, when you are feeling worried you experience time distortion. In some cases like when waiting for your doctor, one minute of clock time seems to take forever. From the other hand when you are working to approach a deadline, time seems to slip away without your understanding where it went, and you are left with a question why you are accomplishing so little.

Waiting for a twenty five minutes, when that train is bringing your loved one back to you, is more difficult than getting to the train station early with your loved one and waiting twenty five minutes for the same train to take your loved one away from you. Everything is the same, nothing has changed (train, station, your loved one), only your emotional experience of "twenty five minutes" is quite different.
