How Are YOU Wasting Your Time?

24 hours a day is all you get. How much of that time is wasted?

“I just don’t have enough time to waste!” “There is never enough time!” “If I only had more time!”…..

Multi-purpose our time doing nothing with full concentration or attention and it doesn’t give the clock any more minutes. There are ‘time-management’ courses, if you only had the time.

Time was people took the time for priorities. Time spent doing nothing was not wasted.

Chores took time. Work took time. Sleep took time. Eating took time. Bathing (if necessary) took time.

There was time in the morning for the newspaper. In the evening there was time for the radio shows. There was never enough time to do your homework.

Television came along and we couldn’t take our eyes off of it. That was until it turned off every night leaving a blank screen until morning. Then we just stared into space wondering what to do until the moving images returned.

Vacations are the time we set aside for visits and travel and family time, yet much of that time is traveling, eating, sleeping, stress, confusion, frustration, long lines, misdirection’s and flat tires. Getting back to work and its organized time is a relief.

Taking time off is not wasted. It should be enjoyed. It should be appreciated. It should be relished because it is your time.

I find myself spending time looking out the window or looking at a tree, sometimes for hours. I notice the change in light and actions around me that most of us ignore in our rush to spend our time in some useful purpose.

I find this time very useful and stimulating. It gives time to relax and enjoy life. Experience what we dream of lying on a beach towel or sitting on the peak of a mountain. These are those cherished moments when you are alone with yourself to “take it all in”. Without electronic distractions and the panic of wanted to be noticed or appreciated or worried something might happen and you will miss it, one can think, ponder, meditate, pray, have that time to be yourself without the fear of not conforming.

Dancers know this time. Musicians know this time. Writers know this time. Weavers know this time. Painters know this time. It is your time.

It don’t cost nuthing but a little time.
