Not Enough Time

by skyjoe76
10 replies
Hearing some said they do not have enough time and I wonder.
1. Are they that busy that they do not have enough time?
2. Or did they mismanaged their time?

My thought of mismanaged time is more of mismanaged themselves. It's so common that we can waste time on unproductive activities. A little bit here, a little bit there becomes one or two hours wasted.

    Focus and mindset are critical to any activity where you're looking to improve. Distractions abound so work in time blocks or reward mode. Set up a system that works for you. Make the time you've set aside
    more productive.

    I that if the more successful you are the more hours you days have. Makes sense since they get so much done. If you could somehow contact Bill Gates, Barack Obama, Kendrick Lamar, Tim Cook or Usain Bolt and ask them that would be great!

    I also heard people that say that they don't have enough time, maybe they have less than 24 hours? Please check back and report to us please, it would be highly appreciated!

    I'd love to do it myself but I only have 24 hours so I prefer to spend them on the things that matter to me.

    Sometimes it is helpful to work out a time of day when you're most productive and work your day around this.

    For me, It is the beginning of the day so I try and get the bulk of my work done then and take a few breaks in the afternoon.

    There is 24 hours in the day, so I am not sure what people complain about. If I have a lot of work, I just work for more hours and get it done.

    Time management and project management is essential otherwise you'll never get anything done and you'll be hoping from one project to the other.

      Beginning of the day is always the time when your mind is more focused and productive. My favourite productive time is between 7am to 12pm .

    We all have the same 24 hours. I think it is important not to get distracted in the minor things (which can easily happen, if you don't have a clear picture of what your set goal is)

    Everyone can find time for things that he/she loves to do. It can be hanging out with friends, playing xbox, watching movies etc. It's all about priorities. If you have passion for your game which can either be your business or academics you eventually learn to manage your time effectively.

    time does not exist ..

    there is only the moment we are in now ..and most of the time ..the experience you have is far different from those with you ..and what digital stuff would record ..

    setting the high minded stuff to the side ..

    our modern society is sick and twisted ..and promost time famine as a status symbol that even people with little success can partake in.. if you ran into someone who could make 2000 a week working 10 hours a week and he or she only worked those ten hours ..and that person had the selfish audisty .. to enjoy all the extra time they had ..

    the people around them would constantly be trying to usurp this persons extra time for their own desires..

    work life balance is a jack ass concept ..work life integration is the way to go .. you can't really do that working for someone else ..on their time table ..that they just might be copying from the rest of the world ..

    Oh I hear you!
    I completely believe it's a case of mismanaged time and it might sound a bit harsh to some however I'm talking from personal experience only!!
    I can tick five things off my list in a day, but then if I have 10 things on the list - I do the first five things a bit faster and get all ten things done that day.


    OK, so that's not always possible but I do find being 'short' on time can actually be a blessing that helps us to get more done, faster. Less procrastinating and distraction I think.


    That being said, people do tend to be taking more on and becoming busier in general, not sure why but I can also see how a lack of time is becoming quite a common theme, but more so time for people's own self and their families - everyone always seems to have enough time for work and the things that bring in the money.

    I focus more on what I want to achieve for the day instead of looking at the time. When I set myself to finish at least 1 thing per day, that's when I see that I actually have more than enough time for everything else. I don't force myself to be super productive and cram everything in one day. Just get things done and you achieve more
