We wish for more hours in the day and cram as much activity in as possible. However, there is always so much work that if we speed up the treadmill of our lives, much to the applause of others, our reward is that we get to do more. But in doing more, we begin to experience less. We move from one task to the next, and say when things calm down that we will relax and enjoy life. This is part of a common tactic called the trickle-down approach to time.
Work comes first, then family, chores, and our well-being is last.
Consequently, we suffer from fatigue syndromes, migraines, and high blood pressure. We mistakenly believe that the answer to our dilemma with time is learning better time management. However, in the long run, this really only serves to find more time to cram things in. Time remains the enemy. Timeshifting means knowing when to speed up and when to slow down.
