We are all aware that time is a very limited and a very precious resource for us all and therefore we try to do the best we can to utilise it in a productive manner. Well, most of us anyways. Or is it the other way around, I wonder?

Anyways, there are lots of factors in play that dictate our use of time and the manner in which we do it. There are several spheres that require our time and effort and life indeed seems like a balancing act between those spheres.

We all have to earn a living and hence work is important, then there are family and friends, our hobbies, health, duties as a member of society and so on. There is just so much to do for any single individual that its impossible to do it all.

Therein lies the difficulty most people face, in my opinion. Well, I certainly have in the past. We assign importance to too many tasks, people and situations in life and we want to do it all, but since time and our energy is limited, the exact opposite happens.

Choose Wisely

Is it better to do hundred things and not do any of them properly or is it better to do ten things and do them to the best of our abilities? Certainly the second one, right?

Being effective and efficient at the same time is what we should all aim for and that is what I’m trying to convey here. Doing the most important things and doing them well. That’s what counts.

Of course, there are too many distractions in today’s world. Some of them can be just too alluring to avoid, but in the end, you as an individual need to decide how you want to spend your precious time just like how we choose to spend our precious money. We don’t just give it away, do we?

More and more I see people just wasting this gift and before they even realise it, it’s too late for them. Well, it’s never actually too late, but you get the point, I hope.

Be Your Life’s Designer

The work of a designer is not only to make things look a certain way but to solve problems. It is to give form and functionality to anything imaginable. And that’s what we ought to do with the most important thing for anyone. Our lives!

Your life is your own and you should just sit down and design it the way you want. Let people tell you that it can’t be done. You do your own thing. They won’t be there when you need them anyways, so what’s the point in listening to them?

Seriously though, decide once and for all what is it that you deem important and also who. It’s not selfish. It’s just taking control of your life/designing it. And I don’t mean all work and no play.

It it is leisure time that you think is very important to you make sure you include it in your everyday schedule! We all have the right to live life and make of it what we want to. So, just do it!!
