Efficiency experts are keen to remind us that life consists of minutes -
a limited number of minutes, so each one must count. "A minute is a long
time". "A minute lost can never be regained". "Being 5 minutes late for
a meeting with twelve people wastes a full man-hour of valuable time".

For years I spent life trying to achieve the maximum in the time
available. This perception is an illusion, a dangerous illusion that
hurries us past life's joys and enslaves to the tyranny of time. When
someone keeps me late, I am impatient: how dare they fail to value the
limited minutes of my life! Interruptions are resented: they prevent me
from achieving, so I must snatch extra time before returning home. Sound
familiar?

Life does not consist of minutes, but of moments -- special moments that
give life its worth. So many your valued contacts began with an
interruption, so what will today's interruptions bring? A half hour
waiting for a special friend is no intrusion; it's an easy price when
weighed against the treasure of the moments shared together. Think back
over your best memories: the very notion of the equality of all 86,400
seconds of every day becomes an absurdity in the light of those moments.

Long ago, people did not wear wrist watches or fill their houses with
clocks. Perhaps they valued each other, rather than their time.
