#inthought -Time

The concept of time was invented purely as a measurement of progression -at least that's what I think.
Anyways, the reasons for my assertion is that time as dimensionless as it is seems to have a finite dimension. I will not try to get into the deep metaphysics of this one, as I myself am gettin confused, so really if we are both confused then what is the point.

Anyways my discussion about time is to mainly emphasise its point as an organisational tool. Mankind has seen himself grow more and more sophisticated as the concept of time became more a part of their activity, and eventually their person, and finally their own existence.

Time keeping is something that has been around for thousands of years from as early as 2000 b.c. and during this time different methods of measuring time changed from water clocks to candle clocks to insence clocks right up to sunclocks, and they were mostly communal time measurement rather than personalised use. The earliest western clock use was by the christian monks who made some of the 1st mechanical clocks in medieval times, as they were used to manage time between work schedules and prayer time. Innovation on mechanical clocks was continually carried out and this saw the 1st personal watch being used in the 15th/16th century.

The people that were using watches were prestigious members of society and they were businessmen, and they were efficient with their time as they could get more done during the day.

So my thought is, if this was the case then, is it still the same today? Well it seems to be! Simply because our world has been moving towards doing things in the shortest amount of 'time'. So clearly there is something to be learnt here..."Time is of the essence". Ever heard that before?

In the modern world time is so much a part of our lives, like most things, it has become a constant. We don't pay attention to it cause we expect it to be there. I say we should appreciate time, respect
 And recognise that its there, we have so many tools at our disposal, technology that makes it seem like we can even warp time. Take the planning ability smart phones give you, imagine how effortless daily organisers and planners make doing seem so easy. They show you how u have the time to do any number of things within any given period.

So when you say "I just don't have the time". Do you really not?
