Is there really such a Thing as Time Management?
Time management is a myth. There is no such thing as time management. The only time management that exists is adjusting your time to daylight savings and then back. In one of the book I had read, there is a really good example and it goes like this. Imagine that you were in an accident and the emergency unit was called, but the rescue team didn’t arrive until after 2 hours. When they finally arrived they said they were sorry they mismanaged their time. If that happened more than once, people will be very upset and would be sure this is a failure of the system and not of time management.

Pimp My Car
I have pimped my car! No, I didn’t do it myself. I had some people pimp my car and I think I have some firsthand results to present. When I was driving back, I tried to drive in a way that the car wouldn’t use much gas. And I actually managed to stay under six liters, I think it was 5.5 or 5.6 liters something like that, and I think that is very good for a Skoda Fabia.

It’s very important to have focus in your life. I want to talk about two kinds of focus. One is problem focus and the other is the solution focus. I experienced it a few weeks ago and it had a great impact. I was talking to a business representative of a Dutch company. The scenario was, someone was discussing what the company does and he was trying to find solutions to problem that they are facing. I was there with other people and we were tasked to listen to and help that person find solutions to the problems they are facing. However, during the talk, it dawned on us that the person we were talking to wasn’t really interested in finding solutions.

Where good Ideas come from
In the past month I have been very active in networking, but I have also been thinking a lot about crowdsourcing and how we can use those pretty new tools, that the social technology of web2.0 has given us, in order to develop new ideas and improve existing ones.
There is no conclusion – yet – maybe never.
But there is inspiration!
Save energy when driving your car
Basically, there are two components in saving energy that are connected to your car. First is the technical component. You can do some changes to your car that will make it run better and farther with the same amount of gas. The second component would be our driving behavior that will help us in saving gas.
