How do you spend your time?  

Are you amazed when the day is over?  

Do you have more to-do's than time? 

There are a lot of quotes about time, especially how it flies.

Often we are unaware of how we spend our time. Today keep a "daily" time log. Where are you spending your day?  On the road, at work, standing in line, learning, crying.  Are you engaged, happy, tense, calm?  Take stock of 24 hours in the life of.....you.

Sometimes we squander quite a bit of time, 

doing things we don't want to do, 

with people we don't want to be with, 

for reasons we don't care about. 

Why? 

After looking at your typical day, you may decide there are more worthwhile things you could be spending your time doing, like exercising (to increase your time alive), meditation (to increase your calm, lower blood pressure and get perspective), or maybe finishing the book you started writing (to increase your confidence and a little pocket change too).  This time log may motivate us to make a new life for ourselves.

What can you accomplish today if you have too much to do?  I have an organizational tool I use when I am really overwhelmed with life and to-do lists.  It is a sheet of paper and it says:

Today, I will do one thing.

    It is amazing when we focus on one thing, how many things really get done.     Multi-tasking robs us of time.      We think we are getting more done.    But are we really?    When we are not living in the now,  life goes by in a blur. 
    Living in the present moment called NOW is an amazing experience.  You see the day flow through your eyes with just what you need, when you need it.  I am not saying it is all positive but if we give our time away by moments and hours each day then our lives are disappearing from us too. 
    In the above definition for time,  it has the word indefinite in it.      That is one of the main points of time.      There are no guarantees for a happy life or even life itself.      There are so many situations that can end our time.      We need to take our lives back.      Be in charge of your time.      Make a decision to spend your time deliberately, not just letting it go by.
We all have the same 24 hours in the day. What are you going to do with yours?Time.Now is all we have.
