Time to Find Time

“So in a world where everyone is competing with their answers, how do you differentiate yourself from everyone else? With a question.”

~ Dan Sullivan

As I was stuffing some newspaper into the package that I am mailing out today, I came across today's Better Living section.

I shook my head as I thought about the crossword puzzles that come in this part of the paper.

There was a time in my life, a long time, when on a daily basis, that this was the only part of the newspaper that I needed. Every day ,Susan would put that section aside for me and on a daily basis I would do 2, not 1 , 2 crossword puzzles.

( Of course I do crossword puzzles in pen. Don't be silly!)

I shook my head because for the life of me, I can't figure out how I had the time to do them.

I certainly don't have time lately.

Most days, I don't have time to write .

It made me pause and ask myself am I allocated this most precious of resources appropriately.

I started to list all of the things that I have let slip away based on my inability to create a schedule that would accommodate these things.

I have not been writing on a regular basis.

I have not been reading

I have not been going to the gym.

I have not been listening to audio books.

I have not been keeping up with my online studies.

I have not been to meditation in over a year.

These are all of the good things that at one time and not all that long ago, were part of my daily routine.

Of course that time was before I started driving a bus 30 hours a week, not to mention the 2 hours a day driving to and from that job.

Still, these are activities that a) are important to me and b) are good for me.

It's time to re-evaluate my scheduling.

It's time to get back on track. It's time to find time.

Sounds simple no?

I'll let you know how I do with this.
