Debt Skills and Time Management: How to Master Both
There are only twenty-four hours in a day, and how you spend each one can impact your entire life. If you frequently find yourself trying to magically turn back the clock, you may be in “time debt.”
Ineffective time management skills can cause us to “borrow” time from other activities to try and catch up with obligations, such as canceling one activity to make time for another. This then creates a “debt” to the first activity that needs to be repaid, and the cycle continues.
Unlike other forms of debt, time is a limited resource that is impossible to ever truly gain more of, and in the end, the bad habit of borrowing time will only lead to stress and neglected responsibilities.
By utilizing financial debt management skills, we can’t gain more time, but we can tackle time debt.
