Even ancient wisdom doesn't have it figured out. People talk about the "arrow of time" but also the "tides of time." Those are two very different images for the "same" thing.
What does it even mean to be efficient with your time? Some personalities function well when their time is all blocked out and _allocated_ to productive tasks; other people find that approach suffocating and end up struggling through every well-scheduled chunk on their calendar. Some folks definitely waste more time than others, but I know plenty who are way more productive the day after they "waste a bunch of time" doing something "unproductive" that is actually critical for them to integrate experiences or decompress.
Plus, nobody ever solves time. So many things are out of our control, from unplanned emergencies (or too many opportunities all at once!) to how our body feels when we wake up in the morning (or afternoon!), the only attitude towards time that ends up working is constant mindfulness.
Thank you for sharing, please do update when you solve the riddle and put a bow around it!
