No time?

When someone says they "don't have time" for something, it generally means that they either don't really want to do it at all, or they are subconsciously afraid of doing it for fear they might fail.

What don't you have time for? Writing, exercising, getting organized? Put one thing in your journal that you don't have time for, and think about it every day for a month. Then be honest with yourself - do I not have time because I don't really want to do it? Or am I afraid that if I do it, I will fail? If it's the former, let it go and quit beating yourself up about not doing it!! If it's the latter, let go of the fear and just try!

What Would I Do If I Had More Time?

It was very spooky to stop by the "One Minute Writer" website today and see that her one-minute exercise was on what we would do with one extra hour each day. The reason it was spooky is because I've got this pre-existing list of topics that I want to talk about each week on this blog, and my topic for this week was just what you see above in the title!! Serendipity?

I truly believe that most everyone wastes a lot of most of each day by not focusing on doing what they want to do. It's hard to focus if you only have a foggy idea of what you would do with some extra time each day. The key to resolving that foggy focus is to write a list in your journal of what you would get accomplished if you had more time in each day. It can be small things - like brushing your hair an extra 100 strokes each day with that extra 5 minutes - or big things, like starting on your great American novel, which would probably require at least an extra hour or two a day!

But until you develop that list, and make a note of how much time it would take to accomplish each item on that list, you don't have a starting point to work from. So start today!

Next week, we'll talk in more detail about getting those "extra time" goals accomplished.
