Time...

I’ve been meaning to start a blog for awhile now..but I have never had the time to start one…until now, of course in the midst of all the packing I’m doing, working, and prepping to go back to school. I don’t exactly have one particular theme or way I want to have this blog directed towards but…well “ramblings of life” for now. Not going to lie…starting this blog was due to reading some of the Happiness Project, such an amazing book, one everyone should read. I don’t know if everyone would like it but it’s worth reading, there is so much insight and great opinions in Gretchen’s writing! 

The main thing this blog is about right now is time….and the concept of it, how we manage our time, and how it feels that there is never enough time!! For example, I had to pack up my room/life in boxes today, do laundry, go to work, prepare for this week, send emails, do prep work for school, visit friends, spend time with the family…but somehow at the end of the day I still do not have time for myself or the rest of the things I have to get done…I know this is an odd statement and it may seem as if I am complaining, but there are some days where I cannot fathom how much time goes by, yet there is never enough time sometimes in the day for work and even play!

The managing time part is another concept I have ALWAYS struggled with! You would think that after three years of college, I would have some kind of handle on time management, but no that is not the case….I seem always to be running around doing different things, sometimes late, and always forgetting things. I know the logical explanation would be to make a chart or keep a list of things I have to do….blah blah, I know, I always try to tell myself to keep a chart but never get to it. Any good ideas on how to keep/have better time management?! Maybe I’ll try to go to the store and buy a calendar planner or some kind of list planner to help me, especially before school starts up again..hopefully that would help.

There are always moments when it feels as if we have so much time, (for me it’s when I’m on vacation!  and such) I wish there were still moments like that, but not when we’re on vacation, but maybe instead we can feel that we have so much time to relax when we come home from work, or after a stressful day. There definitely are days like that, but I feel that there are not enough…maybe it’s just a cycle, and there will be if I can better manage my own time! We will see, I need some ideas though?! This headache is now killing me and need to get sleep, the only time I’ll have to sleep for awhile this week anyway!
