The Business of Time

James J. Lynch

Chapter 2 in Time Shaping for Business Success, 1995, pp 25-44 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When we think about time we have in mind four different concepts, real time, body time, life time and mind time. At any instant our focus may concentrate on one more than others, but they are like the components of a clock, interlinked though oscillating at different rates. In a sense we can envisage time as a clock face with hands measuring and recording relentlessly the passage of time in units of seconds, minutes, hours and even days, weeks and months. On the face are three smaller dials recording and measuring three other types of time. As shown in Figure 2.1, these clocks relate to the body, life and the mind. The first governs our awareness of time, the second our sense of it, the third our experience of it.
