The Power of Time

The Power of Time

Time is an important issues for most of us.Either we save it,spend it,waste it,we never have enough for it.The concept of 'time famine' has become a familiar slogan in both academic literature and the popular media.34% of people feel rushed all the times,61% never having any excess time while 40% saying that time is bigger problem than money.Time is driving us.We are not just busy at work,we are busy everywhere-at home,at school,even on holidays.There is another interesting paradox with time.Nowadays,our leisure time is characterised by two contradictory tendency-increase in passive leisure and intsnsification of time devoted to active leisure.What is the main consumer of our free time?Television!All the increse in our free time have been devoted to television viewing.

Our time perspective is the kind of glasses habitually put on when we look at the world around and at ourselves in it.These glasses have three main types of lenses,past,present and feature.Are we are here-and-now person?Do we sometimes think that we are stuck in the past?Time relates to whether we focuses on our past,present or future when we make decision and take actions.It is powerful influence on many aspects of our behaviour,including educational achievement,health,sleep,romantic partner choise and more.It can become a relatively stable personality characteristic.So usually people tend to have one dominant temporal perspective.The past is associated with focus on family,tradition,continuity,and focus on history.The Past-Positive person has a warm,pleasureble,often sentimental and nostalgic view of one's past.The past-negative person feels haunted by the past.

 Time have some personal value,but if it becomes ecessive and excludes or minimise each others,then it may become dysfunctional.People with a balanced time perspective are capable of adopting a temporal perspective appropriate to the situation they find themselves in.So when they spend time with their families and friends,they are fully with them,connecting and enjoying each other.When they take a day off work,they can rest rather than feel restless.However,when working and studying,they approach a situation from the perspective of the future and work more productively.A capacity to focus,flexibility and 'switch-ability' are essential component of balancing time perspectively.

Lets consider what actuallydoes have an effect on how well we use time,how satisfied we feel with it and how much we are in control of it.The responsibility and achievement principle means adopting a proactive rather than reactive altitude in relation with time,and preventing oneself from feeling over stressed.It refers also having a sense of achievements.When people talk about time,they talking about achievements-completion,meeting,deadlines and feeling progress.It can be difficult to have achievement on a daily basis,especially when you are working on long-term project.It is important to complete something everyday.

So,we can conclude that,time should be use wisely.If the time past,we cannot return it.Just remember,we are not a Harry Potter,Have a power to do so.1 second is very worth,we cannot compared to another things,instead it is more valuable than a gold.So,make sure we use the time with beneficial activities,Its not only good for us,but to many sides also.
