"I have all the time in the world." The person who can say that about himself is Horst D. Lindenau (55), founder of the international Terrestrial Life Management (TerLiMa).
TerLiMa News asks: Time, what does that mean to you?
Horst D. Lindenau: Time is God. Probably the only one that exists. Without time, nothing is imaginable for us. Time comes first in everything. And that's precisely why I'm surprised that so little is being done in the world for sensible time management. Is there a renowned chair dedicated solely to time? Today, it's always about being fast and faster.
This madness infects all areas of life. People want to be fast, but punctuality, time resources, and slowing down remain foreign concepts. I remember returning from a six-week tour of Spain 35 years ago. Nobody there wanted to believe me that the trains there were unpunctual. And nowadays, it's also taken hold here.
When I hear that idiotic phrase "academic quarter," that's probably the biggest nonsense. Why can't academics be punctual? Just visit India. The trains run on time there.
TerLiMa News: Why is it even essential to organise your time?
Horst D. Lindenau: We live in an era where we can definitely speak of time affluence.
