Abstract
Time is asymmetric. It moves inexorably forward—it waits for no one. Effective use of time requires planning, and methods for organizing and executing plans.
In human affairs the logical future, determined by past and present conditions, is less important than the willed future, which is largely brought about by deliberate choices.
—René Dubos
