It is shown that the nature of physical time requires the extended phase-space in mechanics to have a bundle structure with time as the 1-dimensional base manifold and the phase space as the fiber. This bundle picture of the extended phase space is then applied to fields in a covariant, `directly' Hamiltonian formalism. Variational principle in the covariant phase-space is discussed, Noether currents calculated for symmetry fields and a new bracket analogous to the Peierls bracket is defined.
