I only changed my Time habits when I understood my relationship with Time. Often the solution is just understanding the problem! I have a list of analogies that might help other people come to terms with their time. They are listed at http://www.desertinoasis.com.

Ryan -
This perspective on time is so interesting. I found this web article (http://www.stumbleupon.com/s/#2gFWBt/www.paulgraham.com/makersschedule.html/), where people in venture capital are distinguishing between “manager’s time” and “maker’s time.” Manager’s time is broken up into hours, and is associated with power. Maker’s time is broken up into days or half-days, and is associated with creative endeavors. They suggest that problems arise when we have to mix the two approaches to time. This resonates with the themes from what you are writing, and provides me with food for thought about how to organize my own schedule!
