My hours seem to slip away. How can I manage my time better?

How you pass your days is how you pass your life – mine seem to slip through my fingers

The other day, a visiting friend and I planned a trip to the seaside. I was taking her on the scenic route to the station, ambling happily along, when she pointed out: we might miss our train.

We made it with seconds to spare. My friend was very understanding, but it was a wake-up call.
