So, why is it that we have to manage our time? And why do we have a concept that tells us not to waste our time? How many times have you heard the expression: "there are only so many hours in the day?" and it always has a negative undertone with it.
Fact. Time goes by quickly. We celebrate anniversaries of time with holidays or celebrations - age, marriage (some of us like me also celebrate, divorce), death and every other significant "event." Our life is a series of events.
When we start going to school, we start learning about the rules. We are promised utopia for what happens if we pursue a good education and a lot more bullshit. We are given home-work that we do outside the day of learning so we can expand our minds and also, that we learn the importance of discipline. Lesson #1 - Rules and discipline are good. Lesson #2: Never waste your time. And, so it goes ...
Does anyone else apart from me realize how ridiculous this is? We are teaching people to follow rules and conform. That is what has been rewarded up to now.
If we stop to breath and think there are so many hours in the day AND what can I do today that brings me joy and a feeling of fulfilment, what changes would each of us make?
Just saying ...
