You can actually regard the Power of Now as a a highly advanced form of time management.
If you read any conventional time management book, it will likely give you advice along the following lines:
(a) every day, make a list all the things you need to do;
(b) organise all these tasks according to their priority;
(c) concentrate fully on the most important High Priority task first;
(d) while working on it, ignore all else
(e) when that task is done, move to the next highest-ranking task.
The Power of Now is quite similar. Except that instead of using a "day", you use "now". You concentrate fully on what is immediately before you, right now. If you can do something about it, you do something about it. If you cannot do anything about it, you do not waste energy worrying about it and simply move on to something else.
Procrastination, in fact, is a prime example of resistance to the Now. Eg there is something you need to do, but it's unpleasant, so you RESIST doing it, and give yourself excuses to put it off to another time, and another time, and another time.  |
