Dear Matt,
I’m wondering what your opinion is of time management systems such as the Franklin Planner. Every time I look at all the things I put in mine it drives me up a wall.
What say you?
Ty Merz
Dear Ty,
Personally, I find these time management systems and planners to be a waste of time.
Arriving at this realization was profound because I became aware that contrary to Type-A opinions, Type Be ain’t so bad.
When I put more focus on wasting time instead of managing it, the profundities that came my way woke me up.
How so?
Well, every time I “waste time” sleeping, going for a walk or having an idle conversation about false idols, I get my best ideas. But when I manage time down to every minute of every day, I experience a time warp. Time feels as though it is going slower than it actually is.
But when I take one of those ideas I got while wasting time and I begin acting upon it, something strange and unexpected happens. In the “nick of time” I realize that time doesn’t even exist. It’s an illusion. Several hours feels as though they were mere minutes. The henchmen of time turned into mere minutemen – and as you know, those minutemen are always ready in a minute.
So, in my case, wasting time is part of my time mismanagement system and the best part about it is that it works whether I believe it will or not.
