Time is an interesting concept. Some people are always on time, some are always behind, and others are always early for arranged meetings, appointments etc. Time management is an essential skill in the corporate world we live in. There is constant pressure to deliver on time, not to waste time, and not to be forgotten the classic pressure point expression – time is money. This is quite ironic since the only thing we cannot buy, for love or money, is time.
How we manage or perceive the importance of time management varies from person to person. But I believe one thing we all agree on is that it never seems to be enough time. Making ‘time’ the most precious asset we have. We never wish we had less time, we might want to have spent less time on fruitless pursuits, but we never hope for less time. Generally, we want more time to spend with family and loved ones, to extend a holiday trip or more leisure time for enjoyable activities or passion projects.
I don’t have a hack or trick to accumulate more time beyond the 24 hours we have in a day, but I believe being present is key for adding quality to our time.
This week was a hectic one. At work, it felt like I was fighting fires all week; one issue after the other needed my urgent attention. However, I managed to squeeze in some real mid-week quality time with friends involving good conversations, delicious food, live music and just good old fashion fun. That, I found to be soul-nourishing because I made an active choice to be present in the moment.
Nevertheless, with it being Friday, I am feeling tired, and this weekend I will be spending on re-charging my body, mixed with attacking never-ending chores around the house and meeting up with friends.
My self-care tips for this weekend are brief, and I have based the topics around the 2010 Julia Roberts blockbuster movie ‘Eat, Pray, Love’.
Have a peaceful, loving and joyous weekend
