Why is it that no matter how hard I try to have everything done by a “reasonable” time there is still way more to finish than I have time for. I work consistantly each day to reach my goals and yet there are always things that I just don’t have the time to finish. It’s late, and I’m tired. And I don’t want to push these things into the next day. I really wanted to get them all done today.
Oh, please tell me….. am I the only one who has this problem? Is is me? Am I causing this to happen? What could I change?
I’ve read many times that it is very important to keep your life in balance. O my goodness, what does that mean these days? Does anyone really have a balanced life from day to day? It seems that one thing or another is missing the needed attention it deserves. There’s husbands, and wives, and children, and work, and friends, and more family, and meetings, and chores, and errands, and school, and practices, and appointments, and pets, and homes, and cars, and this, and that, and the list will never end!
I’ve even spent large sums of money to attend seminars on how to achieve this illusional thing called balance. And yes, even tho at the time it all made perfect sense (and in theory still does right now) I just can’t seem to pull it off.
Help!
Did you know that Americans work 50% to 75% more than people in all the other industrialized countries? And we spend far less time on leasure activities than they do. What’s wrong with this picture? And what happened to the “good ole days” as we once said. Hah!
I think I know. But I would only be posting my personal opinion, and in my current state of mind, I don’t think it would make a whole lot of sense…… but maybe??? No, I won’t go there tonight. I need sleep….
But if there is anyone out there reading this that has a theory, or even a vague idea of what’s happening, pa-leeze leave me a comment and I will be eternally greatful to you.
Life. Love. Money.
Do we every have them in perfect harmony?
I hear ya loud and clear, I too have spent $$ on Seminars, I could teach them! lol!
Imho I think some of it has to be our personality temperament.
The more timesavers we have, it would seem the less time we have, go figure. Yes, I have read the statistics about our working so much more than other nations. I wonder if possibly it would have anything to do with our ancestors that came here (ya know they had to be a special breed) hardworking that’s for sure. Just musing, perhaps they passed us the gene. lol.
I enjoy your blog
