It is perception and perception is 99% reality.<\/p>\n<p>Time management skills really come in handy as one grows older, to help keep track of those priceless moments which slip away never to return. I really need to work on my time management skills.<\/p>\n<p>While I fail to practice proper TM skills I do try to keep tabs on my actions (or inaction&#8217;s) by using a personal journal. I write down what I do or don&#8217;t do on a daily basis which helps me keep track of my time. I also keep my calendar current with my daily and weekly to do list. So I guess in the long run I am more time organized than I give myself credit for.<\/p>\n<p>Still the perception that time moves so fast feels real and that I am losing control of my time.<\/p>\n<p>Some of this perception stems from the fact that I work 10 hours a day during the week at my job, and when I come home I am so tired I don&#8217;t want to do anything\u00a0 else. Yet achievement is not possible without extra effort. The extra effort to push beyond my comfort level into the unknown.<\/p>\n<p>Right now I am on a well earned year end vacation, freeing my mind of work issues and allowing my creativity to soar as I see fit. The reality of returning to work will take hold soon enough but for this Christmas season, 2021, I\u00a0 want to spend time with my family, investigate my imagination, explore my creativity, and invest time in myself.<\/p>\n<p>I suggest you do the same after all time flies no matter what.<\/p>\n<p>G.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is December 2021 and I find myself wondering what the hell did I do with all my time?
