This is the first week things really got tough in relation to the grad school work. The problem wasn’t content so much as time. Rewriting a novel, teaching all these classes, and having a life really interferes with trying to get the studies right. I learned that I am failing at organization again. In truth I am in that moment where I can see a clear path forward to success. Unfortunately, I tend to see that path and say, “I got time today.”
I don’t. I really don’t.
The issue is not taking the time I have and using it wisely. That is the secret of the ten minute rule–that is the message to be shared from this blog overall. We have the time, so long as we are willing to devote the time and energy and planning to use that time effectively. We don’t know how much time we have, so we tend to waste it until, ultimately, it is too late.
Perhaps we would be different if we knew exactly how much time we got start to finish. Perhaps our lives would be coated in purpose as opposed to waste. As it stands we don’t take advantage of the time we have. I am guilty of that. I don’t want to be guilty of that any longer. I want my life to be better. I want to enjoy my moments and I want to do what I can with all the time I have left.
