“I just don’t have enough time” – A big white lie

“I just don’t have enough time” – A big white lie

 “Won’t you be bored, sitting alone at home?”.

I have a smile for you if you raise this question as the busy-bee in me never has a state of boredom.

Not boasting, but I feel more productive when I am busy. But it doesn’t mean that I never get overwhelmed. Of course I do when I lose that balance while craving for “a micro meter perfection” or stressing too much.

And yes I am trying to convince myself ‘being the best of me’ is the best rather than ‘being a perfectionist’

Actually hobbies are not a leisure time activity as per my dictionary. It’s something which one must do to ignite the soul. So I get myself engaged in some researches, studying, writing, reading, and of course gardening too. Then there is Sudoku helping me to increase my sense of time. And yes, occasionally my guitar also suffers from the attack of ten unmanageable fingers.

So something which I would love to share with you is

“You can have enough space and time in your day, if you have a genuine will. It’s a big fat lie if you tell, “I just don’t have enough time”. [So what’s your state on time? – Finding time to do things or doing things to kill time?]

It’s all a matter of comfort and prioritization for a healthy mind and body. Telling, ‘I don’t have time’ is in a way equivalent to telling, ‘It’s not important enough’. I bet, you will be surprised if you start tracking your time for the next few days and understand your misplaced priorities. Suddenly, the wild productivity appears. Ah!..

Also have a little ‘me-time’ even while investing all of your energy on life priorities. Don’t be guilty of the time spend in solitude. It’s always worth as it can cherish your inner soul and thereby spreading the warmth of energy all around you. [Read more to Break the routine]

And finally, getting enough sleep is one of my top priorities. I don’t mind cutting it short for any special causes when I have to. But normally I get 7 to 8 hours of sleep every night.
