24 hrs not enough – the list
03.16.09
There is just not enough hours in a day. It seems that all you do is trying to catch up. So much to do and no time to do it. It is one of the things we can not change. What we can do is be very careful at planning and not putting anything off. What I have noticed is that with every day the list of things you want and need to do grows, but the hours in a day don’t increase. Prioritize. First is first. Relationships, spouse, kids, family should be first on the list. Ofcorse don’t forget to put yourself on the list too. You need to make time for yourself, so that you can be healthy, rested and taken care of, than you will be able to do everything else that’s on the list. This is what I can recommend you do if you are not sure what should be at the top of the list. If I was to tell you that you have five days left to live. What would you do, who would you see and spend the time with. What conversation would you like to have and with who. What would you like to leave of yourself and the memories of you. Make a list like you have five days to live and follow that list. First is first. I’m sure that cleaning the garage or washing your car would not be at the top you your list. Being rude to your parents, siblings or kids would not be on your list at all. What would be is apologizing to people you’ve heart, forgiving people that hurt you. Spending time with your family and kids. Telling the important people that you love them. Those kinds of things would be on the top of your list. So make that list and look at it often and do those things. When your time comes to leave this earth you will now that you made time for what was important and will have no regrets about your time, your life on this earth.
