Time Management ... why there's no such thing

  We can't 'manage' time; but we can manage ourselves You hear so much about 'time management' , there's 1000's of courses dedicated to the subject.  In reality though, we can't 'manage' time, it's going to pass regardless, the same 24 hours every day.  However, we CAN   'manage' ourselves, our tasks and our interruptions each day.   We have a love / hate relationship with time depending on what we are doing at that moment, we complain when it goes too fast, too slow, we blame external factors and other people for 'wasting our time' .

Conquering the challenges life throws at you and gaining strength from setbacks Towards the end of 2017 I started looking for a new job and, incredibly, I only had two interviews, one of which turned into my current job.  However, the two experiences couldn't have been any more different. The first interview started well, I had numerous 'tests' to do such as spelling and giving examples of how I'd react in certain situations.  I passed all these with flying colours apparently so I then went on to have the formal part of the interview.  I was answering everything that was thrown at me but I noticed that my interviewers kept coming back to the fact that I'd spent almost 14 years in  the same job in the public sector and were saying how different and fast paced it was in the private sector.  I knew this, I had always worked in the private sector previously and told them as such.  In the end I felt I was trying to justify my situation rather then g...
