Put in that order, your day will become more enjoyable and it is a good way to eliminate procrastination. If a bricklayer were to contemplate only the size of the job facing him, he might be so dauunted by it that he would never get started. But he knows that all he has to do is lay one brick at a time until the job is completed. What‘s so fearful about that? Most of us have days when ‘the roof falls in‘, and we may feel there is just no way we can cope with it all. Some will throw up the towel! and prepare for the consequences of doing nothing. But the wise ones will look at each task in turn, decide where to get help if necessary, put first things first, then forget about time and concentrate on one job at a time. Those who panic at the thought of their workload have a neurosis about time based on the false assumption that we can ‘manage time‘ or ‘make time‘ or ‘save time‘, all of which are impossible. But as long as they feed these neagative attitudes into their subconscious minds, they will become anxious about time passing, instead of concentrating on the tasks at hand. They waste time just worrying about time passing, instead of realizing that it is going to pass anyway and that they should be concerned about using it to the best advantage. This cockeyed notion of time causes us to say such stupid things as, ‘I don‘t have time for that‘. Of course you have the time, but you choose not to use it in that way. That‘s okay, but why blame time? Or we say, ‘I‘ll give it to her, she has more time than I have‘. How can she possibly have more time than anyone else? What you mean is that she has less to do with her time. Those who knbw that all we can do with time is either use it or waste it, concentrate on managing their activities to use it in the best way possible; and manage to alternate it adequately between periods of activity aftd rest.

Too often we allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by the size of the tasks that face us, without realizing that they can be broken down to small steps, which, dealt with one at a time, will lead to total accomplishment. Students at the start of the school year, with an armful of new textbooks, are often devastated by the total amount of work they are expected to get through. They overlook the fact that they have 10 months to take it, step by step, through to completion. People in business can be prostrated before a desk piled high with all the things that they have to get done, until they realize that the first thing to do is to plan their workload, set their orger of priority, and then work on each one in turn. There is an allegory about a grandfather clock that, as it was put in place for the first time, contemplated its future. It reasoned that it would have to tick twice each second, or 120 times each minute, which meant 7,200 times each hour. In 24 hours it would have to complete 172,800 ticks. This would mean 63,072,000 times a year. In 10 years it would have to tick 630,720,000 times. At this point, it collapsed from nervous exhaustion. When it revived, it saw in a moment of insight that all it had to do was one tick at a time. So it began. And now, after a hundred years, it is still a respected grandfather clock.
