Hours Are Not Blocks of Frozen Orange Juice

David Kadavy: "All hours are not created equal"

[Scroll down for the English]

KISWAHILI

"…mawazo ya uwongo la usimamizi wa wakati ni kwamba usimamizi wa wakati unachukulia wakati kama bidhaa. ‘Kila mtu ana masaa ishirini na nne sawa kwa siku,’ utasikia watu wakisema. Ni kana kwamba unaweza kupanga saa hizo kama vile vichaka vya mahindi, au kama matofali ya maji makini ya machungwa yaliyogandishwa—kila kitengo sawa na kitengo cha awali. Lakini hiyo ni mbali na kweli….

“Midundo ndani ya miili yetu na ya ulimwenguni unaotuzunguka hufanya kila saa kuwa tofauti na inayofuata. Saa zingine ni bora kwa mawazo ya uchambuzi. Saa zingine ni bora kwa kufikiria kibunifu...saa zote hazijaundwa sawa."

- David Kadavy, mwandishi wa Marekani na mwandikaji wa mtandaoni ambaye anajitahidi kusaidia watu kuwa na matokeo zaidi wakati ubunifu ni muhimu.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

“[A] false assumption time management makes is that time management treats time as a commodity. “Everyone has the same twenty-four hours in the day,” you’ll hear people say. It’s as if you could line up those hours like bushels of corn, or blocks of frozen orange juice concentrate–each unit the same as the previous unit. But that’s far from true….

“Rhythms within our bodies and within the world around us make each hour different from the next. Some hours are better for thinking analytically. Other hours are better for thinking creatively...all hours are not created equal.”

- David Kadavy, American author and online writer who strives to help people be productive when creativity matters. Also, here:
