The Qwertyrash Blogs

“Chris, have you been sniffing the Merino again?” you’re probably asking, “Nobody gets more - or less - than 24 hours a day.”

No, just obsessing about time still. I read with interest Chris Garrett’s article on Performancing.com, Chasing Pennies who said:

I have lived in two different worlds many of you will be familiar with. One world slices the day into chunks with a pound/dollar value (WorkWorld), success is tasks done, money in the bank. The other, BlogWorld, seems to not have the same rigid concept of time as the rest of humanity. If it wasn’t for my daughter going to school five days a week I wouldn’t know what day it was let alone what time it is. Bloggers live on a continuum and measure the passage of time mostly as “how long is it since my last post”. If it’s not possible to value our hours, how do we bloggers put a value on what we do?

To further compound the problem much of what we do doesn’t seem that productive. I just spent an hour catching up on my subscribed blogs, commenting here, checking another blog hasn’t been defaced in the last ten minutes..

That sounds like me too.

From my musings upon the distinct shortage of time in my life, I reached a rather interesting - and challenging - insight… The person who accepts that they only have 24 hours a day and doesn’t try to cram more into their day than they can, who doesn’t lament a shortage of time and wish for more, will be happier and more efficient - and probably get a good nights sleep.

Now if only I could live by that.
