168 hours

There are 168 hours in a week. Somehow in all of that 168 hours we claim to be so busy we don't have time for a single thing. But when you think about it what exactly are you doing with those 168 hours. I mean really, be honest with yourself. What are you doing? How many hours a week do you spend watching movies,youtube videos, t.v., and whatever else? How many hours a week are you on facebook?

How are you spending your time? After you answer this question then think to yourself, Am I spending my time wisely? What could I cut out of my life and make more time for?

Is it really you have no time, or you just don't want to do whatever someone is asking you to do so you make it this habit to say, I'M TOO BUSY TO HELP YOU. I'm to busy to volunteer for the homeless shelters. I'm too busy to go be encouraging to a friend in need. I'm too busy to be helpful and considerate.

We are selfish human beings, it's natural. It's not an excuse. I have to remind myself this all the time "I'm naturally a selfish human being, but that is NOT an excuse." I'm making it a personal goal to re-evaluate my time and use it more effectively. That is going to be my constant goal in life. Someday it may come to deleting my facebook. Who knows. I rather people e-mail/call/text me instead of trying to contact me on facebook.

Facebook is nice. It's good. It's overused.
That being said, I actually think twitter is brilliant. It's something I can do on the go. It doesn't have everything up there about me. It's just... twitter. That's it. Twitter. I'm considering dumping facebook. I won't delete my account. I'll just put almost everything on private and make it to where someone has to e-mail/call/text me if they want to talk to me.

Actually I just did that. I just made it available to very few people to see everyone on my page. Very few I mean like, only 10 people can see everything on my page, and no one can post on my wall.

Facebook takes up way too much time.

Time management.

  1. I take care of a baby =)

    Then I work for two hours, come home, and juggle taking care of him and myself. If Carter was babysitter-ready, I would totally be doing more. Definitely.

    Good idea on the Facebook, though. I may follow... I hate Twitter, though. So, if anyone wants me, they can email, text, call.
