Hello, dear friends! Thank you for joining me for this new episode of Walk with Johan. So, it's a bit windy today. I'm in the fields, so at times, you might hear the wind and I apologize, but that's how it is when you walk with friends, you're exposed to the weather conditions and so I'm outside.
Before we begin, since today we're going to talk about personal development, we're going to talk about time management, I would like to ask you a small favor that will take a few seconds of your precious time, I am aware of that, but which helps Français Authentique a lot, it would be to leave 5 stars for the podcast, regardless of the platform on which you listen to us.
This will allow me to be more visible and help even more people, because this podcast Marchez avec Johan, its real purpose is on the one hand to help you improve your French and on the other hand to help you improve your life. And I'm not sure there are many other podcasts that can offer you this result. In any case, I've been offering it to you for 11 years now and I don't think there are any other resources of this type.
So like we said, we're going to talk about productivity, we're going to talk about organization, anxiety and sometimes this idea, this feeling of stress that we encounter when we feel like we south africa whatsapp number data don't have enough time or we don't do enough things. We say to ourselves: "I don't have time to do this thing. I would love to do it, but I can't, because I don't have time."
I hear it a lot, huh. When I chat with friends or members of the Authentic French Academy during our weekly Zoom meeting, people tend to say: "Well no, I don't have time to read, I don't have time to do sports, I don't have time to do this, I don't have time to do that."
And I may say it, I may have said it, but I avoid it. As soon as I say, without meaning to, "I don't have time", I will try to correct myself because saying "I don't have time" gives a bit of an idea of passivity, we are passive, whereas time management, the management of this extraordinary resource that is time, well it is an active process. It is not something that we undergo, it is something that we manage, it is something that we tend to manage ourselves, to try to make the best possible ourselves, but there is really this active aspect. We are active and not passive.
And already one thing that is very important to keep in mind is that we are equal before time. The President of the French Republic, someone who lives on the street, you, me, we all have 24 hours at our disposal, per day, no more, no less. We cannot say: "Hey, this person is lucky, they have 25 hours, while I only have 23 hours." No, we all have 24-hour days. Whether we are rich, poor, or middle class, we all have 24 hours. In a way, time is the ultimate equality. We all have the same thing.
