Time Management(???)
Much has been written about time management – as if time is a “thing” or an object. Time is a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future.

Overtime
I just read a CNN article about Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook. She leaves work every day at 5:30 so she can be home with her children by 6:00 PM to have dinner. She does admit to reading her work email after her children are in bed.

Whenever I’m waiting for something to happen, a call back from a potential client, the bus to take me home or, when I was little, Santa to come – time seems to stand still.
Time is one of the few things in life that we can’t have a “do over”. Theoretically you spend your… Continue reading
