“Time is what we want most,but what we use worst.”
-William Penn
”I'd love to meet up but I just don't have the time right now."
”I wish I could add a couple of extra hours in a day!"
”Feels like there just isn't enough time for anything nowadays."
Does this sound familiar? Probably the most common subject regarding time is the lack of it. Or more precicely; the current lack of time. "I used to have so much more time to do all kinds of things, but nowadays it's completely different." We follow other people's time management and easily think everyone else has more time in their hands than we do.
However, the universal fact is that in this world everyone, no matter what their age, gender, marital status or nationality is, has the same 24 hours in a day. It's up to us how we decide to use our time.
We usually get stressed when our time management doesn't meet our values. Time seems to slip away while we're doing meaningless things and the things that really matter to us, are left with a smaller share of our time. The good thing is that we can choose ourselves how and on what kind of things we spend our time. If we view our typical days, it's fairly easy to notice where the time goes, and take action by make changes if needed.
Time = Life. Therefore, waste your time and waste your life, or master your time and master your life."
-Adam Lakein
During the past years I've made some decisions regarding my time management. Years ago my mother died suddenly. I was very sad because I had always had a bad relationship with her and then realized it was too late to make amends and get along better. From that moment on I've tried to solve things and clear the air with people as soon as possible. I want to do my best to live my life being honest to myself and others, do things I like and spend time with people that are important to me. I want to say good things to the people around me as much as I can while we're still here.
