Can we control our time and lives ?

Skills about how to control our time and lives are well known. Yet many people still complain about time management and workload problems.

Is control really what matters ?

Does not too much control kill creativity, spontaneity and our ability to respond to changing situations ?

What matters is not how to control our life but how to organize our activities in order to fulfill our life.

Fulfilment is about getting those things done which are most important to us and our heart and which enable us to exploit new situations in a flexible and smart way.

Life is not simply doing what has to be done in order to survive

To live is a creative and not a repressive process.

Control alone is repressive. It is a rational approach which can lead us to repress our true unique nature and that of our fellow human beings.

We also know the failures of those states which applied rigid control and rigid planning.

Moreover, our modern interconnected world tolerates less and less external controls. Its characteristics are diversity, interactivity, flexibility, individuality, creativity.

Reliance on willpower alone does not make it either. We want to live a motivating life.

We need new tools to organize our lives; tools which take into account our new environment.
