How has your week been? Did it feel like it has escaped you? Let’s talk about reclaiming some of your time.

I cannot buy more time. I better be careful how I spend it. — Warren Buffett

The Choice (Of Time) Is Yours

When people share concerns about time escaping them, they often view it as something that makes a decision to walk away. But time is a constant: every day has the same 24 hours. The sun rises and sets. What you do as each day goes by is in your hands.

Of course, there are exceptions. There are things beyond your reach like accidents, or health emergencies. Outside of that, you have the choice of what goes on your calendar, how much of it, and how frequently.

I’m not sure why we call it time management. What it really is has more to do with our values, which inform our priorities, which inform our decisions about what gets our attention every day. Boundaries are then what erects a protection around those priorities and allocated blocks of time.

Time doesn’t escape you, it goes where you direct it. — Corinna Hagen
