Why time is running so fast?


We all have a lot of things to fit in lives. We need to achieve our objectives at home as well. Yet we know there isn't a huge amount of time available.

We all aware that we waste time, but can often not be specifc about exactly how much time we waste.

According Debra Allcock, the author of Time and Work Load Management, a recent survey showed the Top Time Wasters at work and study to be (ranked in order):

1.Telephone interruption. 
2.Social Networking such as Whatsapp, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
3.People dropping by.
4.Problems with computers-'technofailure'
5.Change in priorities caused by colleagues.
6.Distractions in the place of work or study.
7.Lack of organisational planning

Sometimes TIME we see as a truly valuable commodity. However, there some people who never thought that time is priceless.

We often hear people say that 'time is money', many of us don't behave as if it is as important as money.
If someone stole our wallet with 60 dollar in it, the chances are we would give chase and try to recover your money. If someone stole 60 minutes/1 hour of our time, we would probably just let it go. This is mainly because our perception is that money is tangible and time isn't.

No one can deny that time spent when we enjoy seems to move quickly and time spent doing thing we hate tend to creep slowly.
Obviously, the time move at the same rate and it is simply our mind set about time that has changed.

Hence, let change our mind set about time, stop wasting time and plan your time wisely.
