I have been told to respect time and instill time management skills to grow rich and respectable. I humbly beg to differ.
Time management is indispensable for any individual to be more productive. The productivity here is related to execution of routine activity and not creative activity. Creative activity to my mind is a continuous search for meaning in things happening around you and inside your mind. This process cannot be quantified and as a consequence cannot be efficiently managed.
This should also not mean that Time management is a “No GO Area” for all creative individuals. Time management as noted above can work well with the routine activities. Creative individuals can use Time management techniques to free up large slots of time to enable them to pursue their creative tasks largely uninterrupted by routine tasks.
