Treat daily tasks as stepping stones to your ultimate goals:
It becomes easy to forget our basic needs, such as eating and sleeping with the fast-paced lifestyle. Even more than that, it becomes easy to forget the important things in life, such as determining the purpose of our existence and the motive for what we do in our lives. We're looking for the "why" that author Simon Sinek talked about in his TED Talk.
When we look at our calendars or the hands of the clock, we will see our life divided into segments that go fast, out of control. As we rush from the beginning of our day to write this, send that, and meet with this, and lead these, we get tired just thinking about the sheer quantity and speed of the passing of our time. So, we don't have to catch up with the speeding hands of the clock. Rather, we should go on with our lives as we go on a long, pleasant journey, remembering our ultimate goal.
“Always think about your end goal,” Steven Covey advises in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. What steps should you take today, tomorrow, a month or so later? A year from now, which will enable you to achieve your ultimate goals?
When we begin to think in this way, we will understand why we are so bound by our calendars, and better still, we will begin to live our lives with greater awareness and attention because our daily actions are not a wild storm that is difficult to control. Rather, they are intentional tasks designed by our minds.
Don't worry about time, enjoy the moment, and keep your eyes on the desired destination:
Let's break free from the "lack of time" control. Do not view the calendar as repetitive daily tasks, but see it as a roadmap to your successful life. What you do today should get you there tomorrow.
It is possible to adopt a strategy through which we can plan for weeks, so that we organize the workloads and the achievements to be reached, while maintaining the flexibility to change the agenda in proportion to sudden developments. This strategy of dealing with time leads to some psychological calm because you know what you're planning for the future, you know what to get done, and most importantly, you identify the drive for what you're doing.
Then you will get the desired effect surprisingly, and when you perform your routine work as a step towards achieving your goals, your outlook on life will change completely. You will control the impact and speed of events around you, and everyday tasks will become more important rather than insignificant with time.
In conclusion:
Embodying the concept of “freedom from the control of time” means seeing a comprehensive, embodied picture of life, which requires the full immediate presence, the prior knowledge of yourself towards your life, and your future destination. This means disassociating oneself from the trivialities and daily inconveniences in an effort to fully enjoy your present and future situation.
