Daily Thought

Here is my one and only thought for the day... ;)

Having two kids really makes you think about time management! (I know all of you with more than two kids and husbands who travel, etc...will think I have it easy - yes, I know I have no idea). I've come up with a new slogan, "Seize the Moment" (somehow I think I've heard this before...;) Really, I've learned to take the opportunity to do something when it presents itself. This mostly refers to showering. You just never know when one of your kids will wake up or get into something or need you in general.

I also have two pet peeves about time. Keep in mind that I could start a perpetual time-wasters group any day of the week - although necessity has helped me improve greatly in this area. Onto the peeves:

1) "I didn't have time..." It bothers me when people use this excuse because 9 times out of 10, yes, you did have time, we all have the same amount of time, we just use it differently. Some people can legitimately use this excuse but most of us, not really if you think about it.

2.) "He/She must have a lot of time on their hands" - Think about what this is really saying...is it saying that whatever accomplishment or project someone completes is somehow not praiseworthy because they should've been doing something else...or because we think we're too busy doing more important stuff? Some people are definitley more busy than other people with various demands...but I think it's cool when someone accomplishes something. I think I appreciate it more now that I long for more time for myself...however, with my new time-management skill (wink, wink), I'm finding that little by little I can accomplish something! YAY!
