Courtney, I agree with you: time management is definitely a talent, and as I am writing this comment at 1:00 in the morning, I am reminded that it is one I still need to work on. I always appreciate the times when I do not have to run around like the white rabbit because I have prepared for my day by sticking to the schedule that I have made for myself.
Oh the mission is a great learning experience. And time management is such a valuable lesson to have learned. While the white rabbit is not an example of one who has learned how to properly manage time, at least he was trying to be on time, which is better than I can say about many classmates. In one of my jobs I work with a guy who has literally never been on time for anything we have done. He is even late for appointments with the students he tutors! When I see the lack of confidence that promotes in his students I understand a little more the value of being on time. It is just another form of keeping your commitments in my opinion.
I love how you used the phrase "unfold a minute". That is beautiful. Sometimes I feel like I have found a wrinkle in time, moments where I am able to accomplish tasks in superhuman speed while the clock slowed down. While time often flies by, it is fortunate when we can use minutes to the fullest and lengthen our window of production to more closely reach our goals.
That was a really good post! I like how we all think of our missions when we think of these three principles, but it's because the mission is such an applicable experience. I really liked this post!!
