Time wasters
March 9, 2022
Hello lovely readers!
It's night again and I haven't written anything yet. My day has been busy but I was able to manage a nap this afternoon. A nap that is so good that when I woke up I thought its already 3 in the morning. LOL I have to stop this binge-watching that I'm doing at night as I end up sleeping for two hours only and last night was one of the worst nights that I only slept for an hour.
Anyway, I was scanning Pinterest when I came across this 7-time waster that we do most of the time but we didn't notice that we are doing. We didn't even think that we are wasting our time because of that. Let me discuss it with you one by one.
Waiting for inspiration
Admittedly, I'm one of those people who wait for inspiration before I can start writing but that was before. I learned that inspiration shouldn't come from other people but from our own selves. That we have to keep the fire burning if we wanted our creative juices to flow. Waiting for inspiration from other sources will just waste our time, sometimes we spend a lot of time looking for something that we don't even know and end up finding nothing because we really don't know what we are waiting for.
Worrying about the opinion of other people
Honestly, I really wonder why the opinion of other people matters. Why we can't move or decide on our own. Why is it that their approval is important in everything we do? Just like when we are buying something, there are times that before we buy something we first thought of what other people will say about it. Shouldn't we please ourselves instead of other people? Shouldn't be our own opinion should matter before others?
Complaining about everything
These are the toxic type of people who just can't be pleased or can't be satisfied with whatever they have. They always find faults, they always find negative things that they can complain about instead of finding something good in whatever they do. People like this should be on the to avoid list as they are just time wasters who can't find anything beautiful around them.
Trying to please everybody
We don't have to please everybody. If there is one person that you need to please it is you. Your own self not the people around you. You cannot make all the people around you like you by pleasing them, Instead, please yourself and make yourself happy by not pleasing everybody as it will only cause you disappointments and a few heartaches too.
Comparing yourself to other people
Another time wasters that we always do. We have to remember that each one of us is created uniquely, there are no two people who are exactly alike. So there are people who are better than us but it doesn't mean that we cannot do whatever they are doing. Stop comparing and be yourself. Be proud of the things that you can do and always strive to be better without comparing yourself with others.
Repeat the same mistakes
These are for the hard-headed, for the stubborn ones, and for those who like to keep on trying even if they know that they are headed for the same mistake. Let us try to learn our lessons once and tried to avoid ending up repeating the same mistake.
Trying to do everything perfectly.
Remember the saying, nobody is perfect so don't try to do everything perfectly. Because no matter what you do you will not be satisfied with it if you always aim for perfection.
I'm not sure if I made some sense in what I wrote today but let's try not to waste our time and be productive. And before we look at what other people have let us always count our blessings first.

Our time is so precious and we don't need to waste it on useless things. Yes, you're right we are unique and imperfect. No need to compare ourselves to others and focus on our capabilities.
