Time is Short

    Time can certainly get away from a person.  You think you have all the time in the world to get something done.  Or at least a couple of weeks.  Enough time to meet that deadline you set for yourself.

    Then all of a sudden, that deadline is upon you.  Where has all the time gone?  What did I do?  Well, I helped clean gutters.  Fixed a window.  Worked on more urgent projects.  Spent time with family.  And just breathed.

    That last one is the killer.  We’re all told to take time for ourselves, yet every time we do, something seems to get pushed to the side.  Something that at the time we believe can wait, and then, there we are with it due.

    Some would say this is a lack of organization.  Well, that could be true for some out there.  Others may say it’s procrastination, or the ability to get distracted too easily.  There is a point to that.  Then there is the thought the task in question is something we just don’t want to do at all.  I’ve certainly dealt with that one.

    But then there is the thought that maybe what we are pushing to the side isn’t all that important at all.  That we feel other things are more important and can’t wait until later.  It is at these moments we have to look at what on our To-Do list actually matters.  For those other things, we must decide if they truly must get done or not.  Some may, but others can continue to be put off, or may never be done ever.  Making this decision could be the best thing you do for yourself.
