The New Science of Time Management Robby Slaughter

WE'VE ALL SEEN WHAT HAPPENS with our time: it gets away from us. There are never enough hours in the day. We wake up with a million things to do, and we go to bed with a slightly different list of a million things to do. The very idea of managing our time seems hopeless. And yet, we live in a world of incredible innovation in science and technology. In each of our pockets is access to the sum of all human knowledge, instantly available with voice commands. We know more about how our species thinks, how our bodies work, and how we can engage with each other. Despite these tremendous advancements, many of us feel as lost as ever. We are drowning in an overflow of information. Everyone wants our attention and our effort, but we can barely take care of our own needs. So what's the answer? It's not a cliché, and it's not easy. Like every generation before us, the secret to managing our time effectively is to swim with the current instead of against it. We have to learn all about the new science and make it work for us.
