Welcome back!
“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.” Benjamin Franklin
Like Benjamin Franklin said time is life, if you waste time, you wasted you life. Someone once wrote, “Life is about having time to do the things we want……. Take care of what is absolutely important and the other things can often get procrastinated…..” We need to decide what the things that are absolutely important to us, what things that are trivial that can wait. Even when you do it, it won’t affect much of our life.
Too many people care too much about what other people think and they live their life fulfilling other people wishes other than their own. There are seven sins of personal time waster that many of us committed without realizing it. To live our live fullest and be ourselves rather than lead by other people wishes, we need to know the seven sins and learn to avoid and over come them. Here are the first three sins and suggestion to overcome them,
Trying to do too many things at one time.
There are people who like to start or do a few things simultaneously, while you may think this is ridiculous and wonder how a person can do a few things at the same time. Well, you can, but these are the people who like to seem to be busy and will start a few projects at the same time believing that one he started the things going, it will take care by itself. And nothing get done except precious time get wasted.
You must always know you limits and never try to prove something to someone; you don’t have to stress yourself by showing that you were busy. It your life, live your life not their! Be realistic and keep in perspective on what you wanted in your life. Do one thing at a time.
Unable to say “NO” when approached for help.
Well, this actually either the end result or the cause for the first sin. Try to stay away from getting too involved in many things and others person affairs because of doing a favor and wanting to be appreciated and be recognized as mister nice guy who is always willing to help. Your mister nice guy character will be easily exploited by other. They get their time off while you have mountains of unfinished tasks for yourself as well as others people tasks.
Go buy your self a drink for rejecting a favor request by other people which have no relevancy to your life. Don’t try to be Mister Nice or Miss Nice. Thing will still get done without you, and life will go on. Let other have the chance to show their ability.
Too Much Socializing
Are you a social buddy? Never reject any invitation to a party or a drink after work? Your time probably is of much better use in completing your work and spending more time with your family than going out gossiping with other which do not give you any satisfaction except for hangover the next day.
Recognize that life will go on without you, so forget about the notion that your gang needs you. Distinguish between pure networking and socialization against the needless socializing.
Always have a clear distinction on what you are doing for yourself or others will this help in the advancement of your life. When I do it, will it add value to my life, if not shun from it.
