A wonderful hello to all you wonderful readers that clicked and are reading this.

Time is a precious commodity, and I appreciate and value the fact that you have decided to read this and give me a little bit of your priceless time.

Before I started work this morning I posted the following post in noise.

Tic Toc, how time flies.

Happy hump day noisers.

How has your day been, mine just starting and off to work I go!

Time has given me an idea for an article in read.

Have a great one whatever you are doing.

My noise post

I finished work at 6pm, had a bite to eat and did some other work which I needed to do. Before I knew it the time was ...

Yep it is 10.10pm na and I am now starting this article!

Tic Toc time is running out!

When I wrote the noise.cash post I had all these great ideas mapped out in my head.

Time management is one of the biggest challenges that we encounter on a daily basis!

In my Project Management days "Time" was a crazy thing.

The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) covers nine elements of managing projects. These areas are:

  • Project Integration Management

  • Scope Management

  • Time Management

  • Cost Management

  • Quality Management

  • Human Resources Management

  • Communications Management

  • Risk Management

  • Procurement Management

I was going to give a wee spiel all about TIme management, how to manage time effectively, how you can juggle projects using time etc.

However, I have run out of time so I will spare you that. Perhaps I will bore you with that another day.

Did you read my article from yesterday?

It is here if you want to read it, anyways it was about freewriting.

So brainwave I will do five minutes of freewriting.

To set the scene I am in my living room sitting on the couch with the television on watching Netflix and drinking a cup of coffee.

I am looking around and seeing my house plants. Firstly I haven't watered them today, so I shall do that after five minutes are up. Secondly, they are big and growing out of their pots. Right, I need to buy some pots, Amazon maybe. Do you have Amazon, I love them, the overnight delivery is flipping awesome. I will order the plant pots and probably get them on Friday now. Well better late than never.

Oh I got me some bananas yesterday in an online grocery shop, the bananas are ripe at home, so I need to put those on the windowsill to ripen. Talking of bananas I noticed the price has gone up. I used to pay 75 pence for a bunch of five bananas but when I checked my receipt I noticed that they are 95 pence for the same size of five bananas. What a flipping rip off.

Now talking of bananas reminds me of a funny scary story.

I remember in Germany some years I was on a cruise and it happened to be my birthday. There was a fancy dinner on the ship and I was dolled up in a suit. Anyways comes to 1 am and people are going to bed, me I am in a party mood, nobody would come to town with me. Now I was in town in old East Germany.

Off I went still wearing my suit and my schoolboy German in my head and a hefty dose of alcohol running through my veins. I was invincible. In to an old rundown bar I went. It was dark and full of rough-looking men. I go to the bar and of course, silence as this foreigner starts talking. They found out I was from Scotland and we all became best friends and before we knew it, the time was five in the morning.

Bananas I hear you say, wtf has that got to do with bananas. Patience grasshopper I am getting there....

I was now in full German flow and was asking about the Berlin Wall and communism and how they felt being part of a unified Germany. Surprisingly the older generation actually didn't like it. They preferred some of the old regimes because they had healthcare they got to see a doctor whenever they wanted. They were other things as well which I can't recall at the moment.

However, I vividly remember three of them turning to me and saying in unison.

"But ve have ze bananas now, which we never had!"

So there you go, they have the bananas now!

Tic Toc my five minutes has run out!

A bit of freewriting from this mad Scotsman and no boring Time management lecture in sight!

The funny thing is that is how I often speak irl. I shoot off at tangents all the time.

I had fun reading this. I don't why but Montgomery Scott, the Scottish engineer of the USS Enterprise. Then I continued reading with Scotty's accent (the new Scotty)... Then to my horror, the accent changed to that of the Leprechaun!

I know.. The Leprechaun is Irish. So I thought of the late Sean Connery's accent... That calmed me a bit.

I have to stop now, before Sir William Wallace come into play! 😁😁😁😁

And I apologize for this comment that has absolutely nothing to do with the content.

Hehehe

Have a great time.

That 5 minutes freewriting is the bestest I don't think I could do a piece as rest as that one. I feel like I'm on the table with you when you're describing what you are seeing. Banana is really common here in our country as many commenter said it is. I always have banana shake with cereal every morning so that I could gain nutrients.

So they don't have bananas there back then? While here in the Philippines, bananas are just a common thing, then sometimes got rotten on the sidewalk if the harvest season comes and the supplies are a lot.

Yes they only had things that were grown locally so no bananas, I know it is like in Spain often oranges rot in the sidewalk at harvest time.

Did you just write this article for about five minutes? Oh, I'm surprised if that's the case. Anyway, I'm currently doing my time management, and I can't still perform it effectively. Maybe I'll be based your article as a guide for my next not-so-good writing
