Overcoming Time Management Regret

Thoughts on self-forgiveness and opening-to-change in Elizabeth Grace Saunders' New York Times article "Your Past Is Not Your Future: Overcoming Time Management Regret":

"Own and admit your past mistakes and then forgive yourself." — "... turn your attention to the present and make changes going forward."
"Try something. Anything." — "Every time you take positive action - no matter how small - you accumulate factual evidence that you can do something to improve your time management, and those small things add up."
"... choose to use regret as a positive force in your life and learn what not to do." — "Yes, I'm behind because of my past choices. But I don't want to get any further behind so I am going to commit the time I can to moving ahead on it now."
"You have the right to decide what is or is not good for you, and a little conflict now to take control of your time will save you even more conflict later. You must have the courage to set boundaries to make wise time management choices in the present and to have a sustainable, healthy lifestyle in the future."
