Make the Most of your Time

I think we have to analyze our lifestyle especially in the way we are spending our time, we have to use optimally the present that we live because sometimes we stay in yesterday, tomorrow nobody knows what will be, so today's challenge is "take advantage of your time". There is a study that surprised me when I read it and I wanted to share it today, it is a study that some analysts did on people in a time of 72 years of life. According to the study, we spend 21 years sleeping, 14 years working, 7 years in the bathroom, 6 years eating, 6 years traveling, 5 years waiting in lines, 4 years learning, 3 years in meetings, 2 years returning phone calls, one year looking for lost things, 22 months in church, 8 months opening useless mail, six months waiting at traffic lights.

Now you will tell me: "Where is that study from?" it is a study of an average of many people, of course, it is not yours, because you will tell me that you do not spend all that time in a traffic light, or you do not spend it taking a bath, well it is an average study that specialists did with many people in 72 years and this analysis in relation to time is the result of the study. Now how surprising is this, it is surprising that a couple spends on average per day, according to this study, four minutes talking and the children say: "let's go look for my dad to see if we can talk to him" because the studies indicated that parents spend on average 30 seconds per day talking to their children. So this makes me think about how we are using our time. How you use your time, you regularly say: "I don't have time"... right, "I don't have time"... "time is not enough"... could it be that God did wrong by creating a day with only 24 hours... because time is not enough for all that we have to do?

No, I do not believe that God misused time by creating a 24 hour day, God is perfect and knew how to give us a general administration of all the aspects of our life, all the activities even with the days, hours, minutes, seconds and it was a man who invented the calendar to leave the time in a tangible form. But sometimes the calendar deceives us, a year is on the calendar only with the number of days there are, what we want to use depends on us. For example, a person can do activities in a week that he would do in a year and another person could do the opposite, spend a whole year doing something that could be done in a week, right?... So, it all depends on how one uses his time. The problem is not having enough time, but how we use the time we have, how we manage it. The key here is how to manage time, which can be learned, how to use time diligently, how to learn to manage time efficiently. We have to analyze our lifestyle, where are you spending your time, what are you spending it on, I am talking about physical, mental, emotional, in all these aspects. We have to use the time in the present, in today, because sometimes we stay in yesterday, tomorrow we do not know what will be, we have to learn to take advantage of the present. Tomorrow is what we have to work on today.

But sometimes we stay in that time behind, in the past, we have to start leaving the disorder in our life, that physical disorder, things that occupy our vision in a negative way, that mental disorder, things that are occupying our mind in a negative way, that emotional disorder, things that are occupying our spirit in a negative way. We have to "rescue" the time we use. To rescue means, to return, to liberate, to change, then we have to prioritize and make the best of the time we have. Whether you take advantage or waste your time is your decision and life will show how you have taken advantage of it, so today's challenge is: take advantage of your time. Don't waste it. How do you make the most of the time you have available in your daily routine? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you. I thank my followers and sponsors for taking the time to read my posts.
