Abstract: What is Time ? Time is an important and scarce resource of which we never have enough. Unlike other resources, it cannot be substituted with anything else. Still, we do not seem to fully understand its nature. Even our numerous definitions of time are intangible. Sensation of Time in Human History Our sensation of time has changed enormously through our history. We keep trying to squeeze more and more tasks into a constant amount of time – in pursuit of more happiness. Time Management Techniques Lack of knowledge of this area causes a tremendous amount of struggle. While we are expected to be highly industrious at all times, many of us do not have sufficient level of knowledge of the basic time management technics. Let us briefly summarize these. Deadlines Deadline is a magic word in our lives. Deadlines drive our whole existence. What is a deadline? What are the typical types of deadlines? Common fallacies Not only we do not have decent definitions for time, not only do we lack knowledge in the field, there are also common fallacies that exacerbate our struggle for time. Proposals Do less. Do it better. Know the traps and avoid them.
