- Hey NOISE, "What do I have on Tuesday?" In other words, what should I do right NOW? Where should I invest my energy at the moment? I learned (and still in the painfully process of learning) about the costly side of ME wasting time I searched for solutions. Are you with me on this? OK, than let's think together: Raising uncomfortable questions and being honest to ourselves is the utmost important step to control reality ... more precisely OUR REACTION to the reality (this is crucial to accept). Most of the time, we can't change what's happening, for example we can't change the FACT that our train was late, or the next meeting is delayed and we have to wait for 1 hour more... BUT we CAN change our reACTION to this: Here's what I'm doing: I've got the message, and I pause for a moment. There is no gain in it if I become angry ... so I simply accept the new reality and I choose my reaction to it. Instead of being angry, stressing about the delay (let's stick to the example) I'll start learning new things by reading, or thinking about MY thoughts. The simple vow to myself, that I won't allow the obstacles change my plans is enough to harness the new opportunities what pops up, instead to waste time on obstacles. See the difference of perception here on that same event? Easier said than done... But the proper way is to develop a habit what automatically switchs us to the right task, or a system that save us from falling in decision fatigue. I use a bullet journal ... My bullet journal, that means I'm scheduling my daily activities into 3 parts of the day. (If you're interested, I'll show you some part of this in future Noises) But this, same as we are ... this, should be in a constant development. I find joy every day when I'm trying new things, adjusting my system and habits in order to eliminate the wasted time. Because WE are humans and there are tons of things what we can't change... just our reaction to it. And remember: just doing something for the sake of doing something ... if there is no pleasure in that ... it's a questionable activity... Instead take a moment, and if you don't have anything important to fill that time-slot ... take your book out and read. So good PLAN, ACTION and whenever somethings came up ... just focus on our reAction! That's all for NOW. What is your habit to eliminate wasted time? Do you carry a book in your bag as well? That said ... I wish you the best for today and no wasted time :D #NOWember

Uhm yea. I eat when I'm angry, big bro 😁
Well ... I can't argue with that Sis.... eating is useful ... but that could mean that you won't become angry whenever somethings came up >D
same here :P lol to be honest, that's what I used to do - thankfully I very rare doing this now!
First of all I'm gonna tell you that I downloaded at least 3 different desktop journals. I have at least 3-4 online others I liked and 4-5 in my phone. Everyday I say to my self that "today you're gonna schedule", and then nothing happens :P lol I know that this is the first big step for anything - I used to work with that, and made me feel better, more secure, comfortable and most of the times I felt like I was having real time for me... Now? nothing like that... That's something I urgently need to start again, mainly for wasting time and as for actions and reactions? Hmmmm...let's say that I'm in a better way of dealing with them, I've stopped throw people outside windows :P lol :) Anyway, the last almost 3 years, I stopped working and still haven't figured out how to properly share my hours during the day - I still have this thing that I "owe" to be in certain hours in front of the pc, but when at home, it's not that easy with all the extra work you have to deal with (cleaning, cooking, shopping etc). The tasks/jobs I have, I prefer doing them in the morning, but most of the time it's not easy - sometimes I have message for a work (I'm a freelancer now - or at least trying to be) and I'm not on my pc and say "ok, I'll see it later/tomorrow" and then the work has gone to someone else, and then bad thoughts in my mind and so on and no schedule/program make me feel better or react without feeling angry/empty or whatever (it depends of the time of course). I keep this one, because I really try hard to become such a person: "So good PLAN, ACTION and whenever somethings came up ... just focus on our reAction!"
Yes, too many journals/diaries can be a course ... I know form experience. I started one for every business, than for every activity ... still reviewing them, but the simple and minimal is the way to go.. so I'm decluttering as I can...
