Acharya Prashant addresses the problem of time management by explaining that when you say your time is wasted, it likely means you want to do one thing, but something else happens instead. You want to spend time in one direction, but it ends up being spent in another. He clarifies that our mind is much deeper than our conscious desires. What you call your 'wish' is a very superficial thing. Below the conscious mind, which is just the top layer, lies a vast ocean of the mind with great depths. In these depths, the deepest desires are buried. There is the desire that is manifest, like wanting to read a book, which is a conscious wish. Then there is a desire that is unmanifested and hidden. The hidden thing is often more powerful than what is apparent. Your time will always go where you truly want it to go. It is a delusion to say that one's time is wasted; no one's time is ever wasted. Whoever has spent their time somewhere, in reality, wanted to spend it there. The only thing is that they themselves are not aware of their own desire. This reveals a principle: where your time is going, you can find out what you actually want. It might be that on the surface you say you want to read a book, but you find that you spent that time roaming the market. This should tell you that your deeper, real desire was to go to the market. Once the secret is revealed and you know what you are wanting, the possibility of a cure opens up. You understand what is sitting inside you. Otherwise, that hidden thing would never have come to the forefront. This incident has revealed what was hidden. You would have kept telling yourself that you are a great lover of books, but this incident shows your real intentions. You give value to the thing you give your time to. If you find your time is spent reading useless literature or on the internet, then know that you value that. Don't fight with yourself about why you value it, and don't deceive yourself by saying it happened by mistake. What is happening is the reality. To address this, you must have a dialogue with your mind. When the mind says, 'Let's go to the market,' ask it, 'Why the market?' The mind will give a reason. Keep asking 'why' to every reason it provides. This chain of questioning will eventually lead to the ultimate purpose, which is peace or contentment. The mind is ultimately seeking peace. The problem is that the mind has been taught by society and its surroundings that peace is available in the market. The mind is not to be suppressed or fought with, but to be engaged in a dialogue. When you have to make a decision, ask yourself which path leads to peace. This will determine your priorities. The highest value is peace, and once you are firm on that, all other values will align accordingly.
