Time Management

If I am planning my day In my head I say This time do not be late Do not put too much on your plate My intentions are good As you know they should But it is with these good intentions The road to hell is paved So how is it for me time always gets shaved People will phone to have a chat I like that The doorbell will ring Is it for me Oh lets see What should I say Go away Try as I might to get it right Time marches on Without me it seems And to my horror and dismay The clock will display My delay So what do I do Someone give me a clue Throw me a line Teach me about time

intentions are good... well let me tell you I have a list of "good" ones, yet the list refuses to decrease, regardless of effort. Loved the write. Excellent words. Ann

Hi Frances...seems a lot of us have this time problem...my family always plans for me to be late! I've taken to setting my clocks ahead 5-10 minutes and it has really helped. Love your poem and the images. Jeanne

Hi Jeanne, My family say I will be late for my own funeral. I have tried the clock, it did help. Thanks for the compliment, appreciated, Frances

Hi Frances, lovely write, time brings all things to my mind, so many songs;) we can let the clock rule us or not. If I was planning a day and had to rule in the time factor I would write down the amount of time spent on each part of the day;))))Hugs

Hi Niall, I like that about letting the clock rule or not. I think I am a not person. Thanks, Frances
