Managing Your Time and Staying Productive

If you could control time, would you go back to change the past so you could revisit a memory or redo a mistake? How awesome it would be to freeze that moment and have all the minutes to do everything you want with hours to spare! Managing your time and staying productive would not be a problem for you.

A 60 Minutes/ Vanity Fair poll in 2015 found that people would like to go back in time to prevent catastrophes such as the sinking of the Titanic and the 9/11 attacks on the United States. Some people would like to witness firsthand events such as the opening of King Tut’s tomb and the first landing on the moon. Overall of those polled, 53% were more interested in their future than in what went wrong in the past.

Each morning, you have the future ahead of you. If you manage your time well, you’ll finish the day feeling like you’ve been productive.

    […] Give yourself room to breath. It really is a myth you have to work around the clock, non-stop to achieve key outcomes, but we all do it. As fellow blogger Vanya pointed out in her recent blog this is what you really need to do each day. Click here […]

    If I could, I would absolutely go back in time. As a historian it’s something I’ve always wanted. But yes, it’s a good idea to think of our future and how we can make it the best possible.

      I think the ability to go back in time would answer some questions I’ve had about what I studied in history class.

    One of my all time favourite shows is Doctor Who – a timelord that can travel through time and space. The show’s concept of moving through time across the universe has always been amazing.

    There are certain events in the past I would like to see re ancient civilisations. I wouldn’t stop past tragedies as we, sadly, need to learn from these. I’m not sure how I would deal with the ability to travel to the future.

    As for the last sentence re managing our time each day to provide a fruitful future – superb 😊

    It would be great to turn back time but since we can’t I try to take advantage of every moment I can. My kids are growing up so fast and creating good memories is my number one priority!
    Great post!

      True. Especially with kids. You can’t hit the pause button on them so you need to value the moment now.

        So true! Goes by so quickly and being present is a must and can be so rewarding.
