I don't like this phrase. It implies you can control time, which you cannot - it just flows away and leads to the unhealthy belief that it is a good idea to sleep less. When perhaps saving time was never the goal of life in the first place if you had enough time! (doing negative satisfaction things more isn't a good thing)
We can be perfectly logical and optimal people who don't need breaks, where things don't go wrong, and energy levels don't vary. Time management is quite silly: it assumes some things are not good. E.g. YouTube. Despite the fact if u look carefully there are times where there are no tasks necessary and you value YouTube right now!
"Waste of time" - but isn't it the goal to satisfy life by doing what u want (implies there's a better activity o do)
Reducing consumption of energy, for instance in boring activities like school, to save for other activities like freedom.
Time management sounds a bit cliché now; is it because it’s just
wrong?
As I hear an excuse for not working or studying, “I’m tired.” or “I’m
fed up.” JUST NAP. NAP. It’s either 10-15 minutes, or 90 minutes,
anywhere in between likely leads to tiredness. Seriously, I would
recommend a nap if you are at home. You have time when you wake up.
Considering how much time people use for non-academics, I would say
people pretty much have all the time in the world… yet complain about a
lack of time. It might be an addiction, but it might also be doing
high-energy-demand/high-dopamine activities like sports and videogames
before homework makes the person exhausted and unmotivated due to
increasing the motivation baseline, so low energy to do work,
meaning low output from the person due to low cognitive load. Lack of
time is often used as a social excuse to not do what is supposed to be
done (in reality, they lack energy management)
Society views
napping during the day as laziness because they prioritize visibility
over output. In reality, if I am alone in my room revising, what I
appear to be doing doesn’t matter one bit!
(One drawback of napping is that it can affect the time I go to normal
sleep, but I think
it's better than groggily doing a past paper. It’s possible to return it
back to normal by adjusting sleep time earlier and earlier over a few
days.)
Rather, haha? Doing things you dislike consumes lots of energy. The struggle to
rebel against the self.
Time is limited. Energy is limited too. Everything is limited.
I now accept the
excuse even more; it's like "I don't want to..."
Energy management is more real, because you need enough activation
energy... Ironically, time pressure can be (not that I approve of
it)!
Often it is the gifted who find lessons boring. They want to maximize time - sometimes its for revision for other subjects! Forcing them to do a particular subject might disrupt them more in the first place!!
The problem is not time. The problem is school!
Where like 10 hours on productive things make them sleep-deprived, and
they are going back home tired! They are not rested. But teachers
getting mad at ALL time wasters makes it seemsl ike so. It might be that
blaming "time" or "business" is nicer than "I hate all homework and
studying"
If adults get annoyed at a 5-second ad for a disruption, the 10 hours of school and transport is orders of magnitude'' higher and cannot be avoided!Have some mercy on us!!! Please!!!''
Sometimes people get blamed and then get suggested to "learn a new skill" instead! Too vague! And a person may not actually want to do the execution process, which usually consumes more mental bandwidth, and you guessed it, quite a bit of time! Thus, I blame those who blame "time-wasting" people only to suggest an ineffective band-aid "solution" instead of acceptance.
'Can be achieved by anyone with enough time' is used to pretend there is an equivalence between the ones who have done it v.s. the ones that haven't even started yet! Just like Terry Davis experienced?
Related to productivity: There is an importance scale (80/20 rule), so it actually isn't much about time management at all. Rather, it's like even better than thinking abt what to do with limited time: you can do the most impoetant/ugent things, br rrlatively guilt free about postponing stuff like "hobby skills", but then also, if you actually want to do stuff, or time more than expected for essential stuff can extend working durations.
