When we are asked the reason for the low productivity or bad results we are loaded with number of reasons. But one of the most common answer is always the lack of Time. So, most often I think about some ways to stop the time, make everything stand still and work hard in the meanwhile to get along with the pace of time. I wish.. 🙂
But now I can stop the time. Yes I can. And you all too. Thanks to Einstein. We have heard stories that Einstein was the only one who could invent the time machine but he could not. But his theories are still out there. One of his such theory is General Relativity. General relativity generalises special relativity and Newton’s law of universal gravitation, providing a unified description of gravity as a geometric property of space and time, or spacetime. The term relativity means that all uniform motion is relative, and that there is no absolute and well-defined state of rest (no privileged reference frames)—from mechanics to all the laws of physics, including both the laws of mechanics and of electrodynamics, whatever they may be. Time is also considered as one of the dimensions and its a moving identity too. So, it has relativity too. Perform a basic experiment which is described below.
Look for a clock with a very smooth sweeping second hand. The one on your wall might not work. It’s second strikes a significant change in the distance. Look for a clock like on this link: . If it appears relatively smooth, it will still work, you’ll be able to factor out what you are controlling.
After looking at the second hand for a bit, look off to the side of the clock, outside of the box, and about 15 to 20 minutes ahead of the second hand. You should still be able to see the second hand, but you won’t be looking directly at it. Now just relax and see if you can stop the second hand. If it starts catching up to the point you are looking at, jump ahead to another spot about 20 minutes ahead. With very little practice you are extremely likely to make a most remarkable discovery. You can stop time. Perhaps at first for only a second or two, but with practice, you’ll be able to freeze it for longer. If you can’t get it right away, try playing with your focus point, move it further away or closer to the frame of the clock. Or look at one of the hour markers on the clock about 20 to 30 minutes ahead. After you get it, try counting internally. The count you reach is the number of discrete thought processes you performed in zero clock time.
Once you’ve accomplished this amazing feat, what does it mean? It means if we are moving (rolling our eyes) with a constant speed and look ahead of the time constantly we will start moving parallel to the time and relatively it will look as if we have ceased the moment. We can be in that moment for an infinite duration.
In order to be more productive – the things that you really want to do – you have to stop using time management. You have to stop being ruled by time and have to start being ruled by tasks instead. That’s the only way you can really get ahead and get to the important things on your lists. Being ruled by time leaves you dealing with items of urgency. Being ruled by task allows you to deal with items of importance.
Task management and time management are very different. Knowing what you have to do and knowing how much time you have to do what it is you have to do require different mentalities. You need to learn how to manage your tasks first, then you’ll be in a far better position to manage your time.
In fact, by doing the former you may not have to do much of the latter.
So stop worrying about due dates and start making every date a “do date”. Stop tracking your time spent and start tracking what you do in the time you have. Pay more attention to the “what” and less attention to the “when”. That’s how you stop time in its tracks.
And it’s also how you start moving more efficiently and effectively down the right track.
