Have you ever felt as if you're just chasing your
tail—running in circles? Are you moving
but seemingly not accomplishing what really matters?
Stop chasing your tail for a moment and consider the
following question…
If I had half an
hour (or one whole hour) to myself each day, what would I do?
If the thought of having some personal time each day to
yourself sounds like a dream you would love to see become a reality, then
carefully consider this next question…
What area(s) in
your day would you consider to be time-wasters?
This past year I read the book, "Simplify Your
Time," by Marcia Ramsland. I was
amazed to discover a point made in the book stating that much time is wasted in
the process of looking for misplaced items.
In my home I have received the title, "Finder of
Misplaced Stuff." However, looking
for stuff like car keys, gloves, wallets, etc. is a BIG waste of my time! (I guess I have too big of a heart rather
than saying, "look for it yourself!")
Statistics usually bore me, but this one caught my
attention:
If you
have clutter on your countertops and you spend five minutes a day looking
for an
item, that's 30.4 hours a year spent looking for something… you could havean extra three days each year to use in a more enjoyable way…
Wow! Three extra days to replace time wasted looking through
clutter for something; I'll take that!
If you do not struggle with losing items and having to waste
time looking for things, that's great!
How are you doing with keeping your home green cleaned and tidy on a
regular basis? Do you find yourself at a
day's end with a pile of dishes in the sink?
It actually takes more time to tackle a large stack of dishes than it
does to clean up after every meal!
Maybe you are spending too much time on the computer reading
through junk email. Whatever "time-wasting"
area you struggle with, make the commitment to do something about it! Give "time" back to yourself in ways
that are more productive and useful for you!
