People are too sensitive to be able to hear what you’re saying without getting triggered.

They think because obsession is written in books as a disease that you’re attacking time management on a moral level.

I know what you mean. You’ve got the technical definition of obsession, you’re thinking about what it means as a mental mechanism. It means constant re-pointing of the awareness to a particular topic.

A person who practices time management is said to be “time conscious”. Consciousness is something that’s only directed at a subset of things at a time, so when we say a person is conscious of a thing we mean they’re conscious of it for a large amount of time. Being conscious of something a large amount of the time is also, at its extreme, the definition of obsession.

I think that’s what you’re saying, right?

Someone who sticks to a schedule is like a mind that sticks to a thought.
