TIME FLIES!

Most of us start our work and/or school week on Mondays with one major thought, “I can’t wait until Friday.”  Then, Friday afternoon passes and we all become excruciatingly enthused that the weekend is about to officially begin!  Once the weekend is over, another weekly cycle begins and we find ourselves, once again, starting the same round of thoughts.

The problem with this outtake is that, in essence, we’re hoping for time to pass fast - not realizing the ramifications.  Before you know it, as each weekly cycle passes, so does life.  Then, another year has gone, and another year has gone, and another year has gone!

I am writing this to point out that, in my opinion, it’s "time" to stop pushing for the next weekend to arrive and, instead, begin appreciating the evenings of Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, & Thursdays a lot more.  Yes, we all have our responsibilities to earn money and education.  But, each day when each of those responsibilities pass, we can find a way to manipulate some of the remaining hours for enjoyment.  If we keep focusing on days ahead, we’re losing sight of the precious minutes directly in front of our eyes.

Everyone has chores, responsibilities towards others, etc. that subtracts their “spare” time but I’m writing my suggestion for you to tighten those minutes or think about rearranging them better.  The daily hours at work and/or school are usually managed for us or by us in a very efficient way.  Managing doesn’t have to end after that.   Why can’t we take our non-working/school hours and continually manage our personal efficiencies?  Managing can actually be fun and self-rewarding.

For example, if one of you daily chores is cooking dinner (such as macaroni) why not double the quantity to offer future meals and lessen time, too?  For instance, cleanup for such items as bowls & most of the utensils wouldn't have to be done twice.  You can freeze the extra servings and/or reheat it for a quick meal on a day that will eventually have extra time for you.  If you multiply the extra personal minutes for each week that this or similar concepts can create, you’ll find that your personal management has the potential to create many days of new, precious life!!
