QUE ES EL TIEMPO?
Time is defined as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. Einstein referred to time as the fourth dimension, intertwined with our other three space dimensions, making one giant spacetime sort of thingy (his words), and then something about black holes. I don’t know, what, do I look like some sort of him?
Back when I was a stupid teenager, I had a realization that, since the past and future are intangible events, there cannot really be a present. How can there be a middle with no ends? And if there’s no middle, there’s no definable present, so there’s no such thing as time. My head exploded and I died shortly after.
Some would agree that time is an illusion, and others describe it as one constant event, everything happening all at once, but perceived by our dumb brains as separate and discernible. Whatever time is, we all need it, but never seem to have enough of it.
MAKING TIME FOR OTHERS.
You are always being asked for a moment of your time. A moment here, a moment there – the moments add up quickly, and your time is valuable, so you need to spend it wisely. If someone is asking for your time, and you have no moment to spare, ask them to email you instead. I’ve been on one (thousand) too many hour-long conference calls that could have been summed up in a paragraph and emailed to me. Same goes for most meetings. Meetings should almost always start with a predetermined outline of the discussion or at least a list of goals to be met during the session. Otherwise, you can expect plenty of time to be wasted.
