Earlier today, I read a colleague's thoughts about how we spend our time and the excuses we make when we don't want to engage a decision or challenge ourselves with a different path. He mentioned television - oh that great distraction - as a common patsy used by those who claim they don't have enough time.
There is no telly in our home. We run or have an interest in seven businesses, participate in a variety of civic/social/professional activities, and are raising a very demanding child. When we say we don’t have time, it’s not a throwaway justification for wanting to vegetate in front of the tube. We are prioritising.
Because of our commitments, time management skills are critical to our existence. So is remaining clear on what’s important and meaningful. As a result, we are adept at moving pieces around on the board to achieve what is of interest and value (to us). Sometimes what a third party deems important won't make the cut, but it doesn't mean we can't appreciate its significance in the multiverse for others.
What matters to you, and how do you make it happen?
