How do you use the clock to improve productivity?
For most of people, clock is used to manage time. They plan everything according to the indication of the clock. Every day is divided into hours, minutes and so on.
For me, I come to reduce the use of clock, especially on using it to manage time.
Once completing setting a fixed time, I always feel nervous. I don’t like dividing every day into hours, and then put things into these hour-blocks. Every time I do this, I feel bad. So I decided to make a change.
Now I only use clock as a reminder. I only set reminders for very important or must-do things. In most cases, I close my clock and everything related with time. I only focus on my to-do things list today.
In my opinion, we shall manage activities instead of time, because time can’t be managed. And another reason is I believe time is relative.
Many people have the same experience with me: sometimes, we have finished much work, but when we check the time used, the result astonishes us. we couldn’t believe that we just spent so little time.
About time, I have 3 ideas to share:
1. time is relative
The one minute in others’ eyes may be one hour in your experience. you must try to believe this and enjoy this. You are in charge of your experience, no exception for time.
Don’t focus on the time on your clock, focus on that in your mind.
