Time can be a writer’s worst enemy sometimes. There are days we have plenty of it and others we need to cram about 80 minutes into each hour instead of 60. One thing many of us are very guilty of is over tasking ourselves. We try to cram tasks and projects into smaller time slots than they really need.
That makes our time wibbly and wobbly and we lose control of our schedule. Which is a big stress when you have a ton of appointments to make, personal work, professional work, and then there is that eating and sleeping thing we need to make time for. Yeah, that remote from Adam Sadler’s movie Click would be really handy some days.
We could just push the pause button on the rest of the world while we catch up at our own pace. HG Wells time machine might be a neat trick too. Go back in time to adjust what we need to without worry of deadlines or oh no we’re going to be late!
I’m not sure traveling in the TARDIS with the Doctor would be beneficial to catching up or going back and
Since time has kind of gotten away from me a great deal as of late I’m throwing out the schedule. Just concentrating on doing, not worrying about do I have time to do this before I go here or start on this?
It’s okay if projects overlap or take a little longer to complete. There’s no need to rush, there really is plenty of time to get it done. Though that time remote from Click would still come in pretty handy, so would an 80 minute hour. *wink

Ah yes, we all need more time. I was reading a post on this just the other day. It suggested people stop adding so many things to their to do lists. Of course that is easier said than done. Good luck on getting things done.
ReplyDelete"Click" had such an excellent message! I wrote a story once about a young mom who was able to step into a 'time out' room where she could work while the outside world was frozen in time. By the time her baby graduated high school, she looked like a grandmother.
ReplyDeleteI strive to cut back on not just my own, but my kids' activities and commitments. It doesn't always work.
