I read something interesting the other day on this awesome post on Brain Pickings (that website is amazing, FYI):
Without Time nothing is possible. Everything requires Time. Time is the only permanent and absolute ruler in the universe. But she is a scrupulously fair ruler. She treats every living person exactly alike every day. No matter how much of the world’s goods you have managed to accumulate, you cannot successfully plead for a single moment more than the pauper receives without ever asking for it. Time is the one great leveler. Everyone has the same amount to spend every day.
The next time you feel that you ‘haven’t the time’ to do what you really want to do, it may be worth-while for you to remember that you have as much time as anyone else — twenty-four hours a day. How you spend that twenty-four hours is really up to you.
That really got me thinking. It’s so funny how often we feel like we don’t have enough time to do things. But really, we all have the same amount of time to spend each day. It’s just about how we fill that time.
Most of us probably spend around 8-9 hours a day at work. Outside of that time, we can choose how we spend our time. (Some would also argue we can choose inside that time too, and I strongly agree, but that’s another post for another day).
Today, even though I was super busy with work, I made time for some important things:
- Having dinner with my partner
- An after work nap
- Watching a favourite film (Midnight in Paris, seen it so many times and love it!)
- Sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee
- Tidying and organising my office
- A quick look in a few stationery stores
- Cuddles with my pup
- Blogging
Actually, the one thing I haven’t done today was journal. I guess that’s first to make time for tomorrow!
What have you made time for today?
