Time is NOT on Our Side - Duh ...

 This is gonna be a very rough translation of something I heard yesterday: 

"Every choice you make, you pay for with your life ..." or something like that 

Something's out of focus ... 

In other words, you don't get that time back. If you choose to sit prone, and do nothing, that's your choice, but how many hours of your life do you want to commit to that particular activity? How much of your life do you want to pay for browsing the socials every day? 

I paid probably a good hour or more eating really shitty food yesterday. I paid probably several hours of my day playing solitaire. I paid zero increments of time of my life exercising yesterday. I paid probably 45 minutes of life doing bills and updating my financial software this morning. I pay anywhere from five to 15 minutes a day washing dishes, depending on how high I let them stack up. I spent maybe an hour writing my blog post and answering questions on Quora yesterday. 

I spend more time wasting time in any given week than I spend time doing the things I know would improve my psyche, my health, and my relationships. I spend a lot of time working. I spend very little time actually taking care of myself. 

Look around. Who else is here? No one. It's on me. I can't control what anyone else chooses to spend their life on. All I can do is make different choices for me, and be a bit more (god, I hate this word) frugal with my time. 

With this calendar thing, I've been much more cognizant of what I'm doing, and where I need to focus in order to get the things I want. Now, to stop the focus and just DO the thing(s). 

In other news, yesterday was a fairly productive day, work-wise. Meetings. Writing. Working. Thinking. Making work videos. Got a lot done. For that, I'm grateful to have a brain that works properly (most of the time), and creativity to come up with more ideas for improving the processes, and the ability to write (no matter how much I put it off because I'm afraid of it). 

I would hate to calculate the amount of my life I've paid in service to fear. I don't want to do that anymore. Work in progress. 

That's all I got. 

Happy Friday! 

DUH ...
