Don’t ask how to manage time. Don’t ask how to utilize time. Ask yourself, how do I manage myself? Because it is the self that is wasting the time. It is the self that is wasting everything that is around it. There are a thousand opportunities that come to you, but the self is squandering all the opportunities—not only time, everything else as well.
So, we will go into the more basic question, to the more useful question, and that is: how to manage the mind? Because it is the mind that wastes time. We will forget time. Nobody can manage time. Time just flows. Time cannot be managed. What can be managed? The self, my own mind. That needs to be managed.
