Abusing Time?
Interesting piece in the Business Pundit about Abusing Time.
Not sure if blogging at work is an abuse of time. Not sure what sort of schedule the BP keeps but I see blog entry was posted at 9:19 a.m. and people who comment do so during business hours. Although reading a business site at work beats checking the latest sports scores or worse.
Time abuse is very different from the common and well-covered problem of time management. While the vast majority of us can benefit from practical insights on how to organize our lives better, lessons in time management will have little impact on time abusers. That's because real time abuse results from psychological conflict that neither a workshop nor a manager's cajoling can easily cure. Indeed, the time abuser's quarrel isn't even with time but rather with a brittle self-esteem and an unconscious fear of being evaluated and found wanting. That's why you should focus your efforts on what makes a time abuser anxious instead of teaching him how to organize his day.
