Well put, Ngaire. I don't suppose it was easy to write, but maybe you feel better for having written it.

I wonder if "Time Management" is another one of those oxymorons. Maybe time can't be managed any more than cats can be herded. Perhaps Tme can't be pushed or forced or bribed. Maybe Time needs to find its own balance and it's own pace. I believe there is a Buddhist saying that "there is action in inaction", and possibly our Western way of always compelling things to fit, to work according to our preconceptions, is counterproductive. Do I read from your submission, Ngaire, that you actually found peace when you finally let go of forcing your life into a ready-made mold? An interesting thought.

Janet
