Time, Time, Time...

I have to say I am amazed. I actually heard from you wondering why I haven't been blogging. That's amazing. Either you're completely bored out of your mind and need to get out more, or you need a referal for good a therapist.

Actually, I haven't had much time to think outside of my daily routine of to much to do and not enough time to do it.

This seems to have become a common problem with people. Over the years we've all thought we need more time in our day (unless you're in the state pen and are looking to shave a few hours off).
We've even produced terms in the English language to make us feel as though we can get around it such as, steal a moment of your time; living on borrowed time; buying time - and so on.
You'd think we'd learn to live in the 24 hours a day that God has given us. I mean how long have we been around? Have we not learned anything?
Let's not also forget to mention that this is the age of technology, right? (That or they've come up with a new name for advancement and I haven't caught up with the times yet. Kind of like taking the "Future" ride at Disney and realizing that most of their amazing gadgets are already outdated. (There's a bummer for your fifty dollar admission ticket.)

Seriously though. We are living in a time where things have been made to help us get more done in less time. Woo Hoo!
Let's get done faster so that we have time to... get more done?
I mean, this truy is what I'm thinking right?
I have so many things on my "To Do" list that I've run out of room.

I guess if we really thought about it, what we really want are some advances in life that allow us to do less. Huh... now there's a thought.

Going out on a limb would bring me to the conclusion that we should "Just say no!"
But that's not always easy is it? Not because of outside pressure, but because we really want to do more, I think.
It's how we're wired (or at least I am). In some ways I guess it depends on how we view the words: more and less.

Do we want to do more faster so that we can do more with our kids? -OR- Do we want to do less so that we can do more with our kids?
They sound a lot alike, but they really aren't.

I can't say which it is for me. Actually, I would vote for either one depending on the day or moment. It's no secret that I am ADD. Not the bouncing off the walls kind of ADD, just the mind always running, usually faster than I can keep up. This way, I'm never bored and can always find something that needs to be done. This works for me.
It's so much easier to stay busy than to slow down and figure out what to do next.

No matter what the answer is, it all comes back to the same result. We all have only 24 hours in a day. Time knows no gender, income status, nationality, etc.
The reality is that no matter how hard I try to get more done in a day, I really need to look at each task/activity and decide if I can do it faster so I can have more time, or if I should just say no and do less which will inevitably create more time.

Alrighty then. I'm done deep thinking. Which I should never do without at least two cups of caffiene in my system. I have myself so utterly confused I need to walk away, take two Tylenol and think through this once the migraine passes.

In Him,
