Time2Grow #1 Damn the paradox! Full speed ahead! Apart  from   time travelers  -  which are a very rare type of people -   we all  get the same  24 hours   a day .  Similarly, monks , hermits and lone wolves are usually the only ones capable of freeing themselves without delay from the most ordinary types of everyday hassles and many other kinds of  not-so-fun   responsibilities. Ain't it cool to shave your head...? So, what does this leaves us with? 😕   Well... with an overwhelming majority of people having exactly the same amount of time in hand as you do , and – most likely – the same unexceptional daily chores and struggles ... Same "stuff", different day... We’re not all that different , although some may try to convince you otherwise. Especially time lords . They’re the worst.  Speaking of which… never trust a time lord .  Have you ever met one?  Full temporal perception … being able to observe the past, the present and the future… in any timestream .

Hello Time:trackers! We would like to explain to you, why we chose the name prima:Time and what message our logo conveys. That and more awaits you right down below, so keep on reading :-) prima:Time?

The prima:Time  Logo  Since we were already changing our name, it was necessary to refresh our logo as well. We chose a more minimalistic design - using two red dots that were put in between the words prima and Time. People nowadays mostly  work   with digital time, that’s what the two dots represent.  The colors were retained, which means Swiss red and

Time Management in the eyes of the  prima TEAM In the 21st century the previously universally accepted equation "time = money" got serious cracks. It is not possible to earn, save, borrow or steal time.

25% of your money down the drain – how poor time management affects results

Image
A survey conducted by America Online and Salary.com found out that the average worker in the US devotes around two hours of the working day to non-productive activities.
