Most of us convince ourselves that we’re constantly working.

We confuse being busy with accomplishing true work.

In reality, we waste a lot of time on tasks and activities that don’t get us closer to accomplishing our goals.

Everyone wants to be good but very few of us are willing to put in the work it takes and the work we know is necessary to accomplish those goals.

One major excuse we use is time. We don’t have enough time. We’re too busy.

We all have the same amount of time each day, week, month, and year. Not enough time is a poor excuse.

Instead, focus on figuring out where you’re spending your time.

What small activities do you do on a daily basis that you could eliminate? What activities do you do that bring you joy? Are your long term goals more important than your short term satisfaction?

You’ll start to find minutes and even hours you spend throughout the day on useless activities.

Maybe you watch 2 hours of TV per day. You don’t have to eliminate TV completely but instead try watching only 1 hour of TV per day. There you go, 1 hour back in your day.

How long do you spend watching Snapchat, scrolling Facebook, watching YouTube videos, etc.?

These small moments of boredom add up. Try being more aware of how much time you spend on these activities.

Replace that time with useful tasks such as reading, writing, meditating, exercising, learning a new skill, or focusing on your long term goals.

You can accomplish anything you want. You do have enough time. You just have to be willing to make time for the activities that matter most.

“Time is more value than money. You can get more money, but you cannot get more time.”
