This introductory seminar presents ideas and methods necessary for mastering time. If you've taken conventional time management (CTM) workshops, you'll probably find that most of this seminar is not covered by those workshops, in spite of the importance of this material for practical time management and for optimizing our well-being.

What is time?
First, we'll ask a very important question that is typically not seriously addressed in CTM workshops: What is time?
What is the 'normal' way of experiencing time in the West?
After coming up with some working definitions of time, we'll attempt to describe the 'normal' way of experiencing and perceiving time in Western countries, including the USA and northern Europe.
What is the optimal way of relating to time?
Then we'll explore how time is experienced during peak experiences, those 'best' times in our lives, no matter how short or infrequent they might be.
What inhibits peak time experience?
Another very important question is "What keeps us from having peak time experiences all the time?" Or, looking at the same restriction from a different angle, "What gives rise to our ordinary experience of time?"
How can we optimize our experience of time?
And finally we'll ask, "What can we do to facilitate the optimal experience of time, both during work and at other times? What principles and methods are useful?" Of course, in this short introduction, only a few of the possibilities can be mentioned, but at least it will be a start. (Such methods are presented more completely in other Results in No Time workshops.)
