“Those who make the worst use of their time

are the first to complain of its brevity.”

—Jean de la Bruyere

e all have problems with time. We can’t control it—
we can’t slow it down or speed it up. We can’t save it
up—all we can do is decide how we’re going to spend it.
We invariably need more of it...and don’t know where to find it. Then
we wonder where the heck it all went.

I’m sure many of you reading this are struggling with sometimes
overwhelming responsibilities and commitments. Some of you may
be so burned out that you’ve just given up. Those of you who aren’t
probably figure it’s your fault—if you just worked harder, spent more
time on your papers and assignments, wired yourself online 24/7—
then everything would work out just fine.
