Much Ado About Everything..... - Just Not Enough Hours in the Day...

Each and every person must have experienced that feeling, that frenzied feeling trying to 'fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds worth of distance run'.....(Rudyard Kipling).

 
Not enough hours in the day is a syndrome not unfamiliar to the majority of people. Asking different people has led me to the conclusion that either we're too slow, not organised enough or perhaps over-committed - in some cases maybe all three or at least two.

Life just keeps getting faster and faster, and the commitments just seem to grow and grow....

We are finding ourselves too busy to stop and think about what we are doing and why we are doing it?

Taking a step back from the tableau and remembering what it is we are here for, and all those things that really matter to us.

I look back at when I was a child or teenager and think about how many things I could have spent my time doing and not look back into the shadow of regret.

Things I yearn to do now, is it normal?  Are we allowed to start learning new things like lets say play a new instrument or start writing that book we've always thought about.

Perhaps not take up a brand new career but look at ways to broaden your skills and learn something new and practical?

If life has taught me anything, it is that we must prioritise and focus our efforts if we are to achieve anything.  So perhaps I'll start with baby steps not a full blown revolution which I have no hope in maintaining at this early stage of metamorphosis.

Lets keep it simple, I'm going to de-clutter my room and keep it clear of mess so I can start with a clean slate this new year.  After all, cleanliness is next to godliness my sister always said to me.  Its about time I took this to a serious level.

Focus and prioritise.......Let's go go go!

Let's see how long I can make it last ;)
