You can’t manage time. It’s an unchanging and unalterable aspect of life. If you want “more time,” you must manage your attention. In other words, you have to become conscious of where you focus your mind during any given period of time. When you focus your attention, you achieve your goals more easily. You have …
The Jewish High Holy Days have just ended. Despite what many people think, the theme that runs through Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, the New Year and Day of Repentance, has less to do with the concept of “sin” as we typically think about it and more to do with goal setting. The word for …
