We evaluate whether it's worth it to cook breakfast or just hit Mc Donalds, or skip it entirely. We erroneously speed because we really value that extra 2 minutes we shaved off our daily commute. We find time for Jonnie's soccer practice, Susie's ballet, book club, desperate house wives, and
two for one at chili's.
Strangely we never spend time on what really counts, Ourselves.

Think about the last time you spent on yourself, no really the last time you took the time to do something for you. We as a society spend so much time just doing. We don't use the time for good, we don't use it for bad, we just use it. Yet we're always late and in a rush for things we don't even need.
It's Sunday night, that means AMC's The Walking Dead is on. We made sure we got to watch it tonight, yet we didn't cook dinner because we didn't have time. How's that Taco Hell heartburn treating you? Think about your day's, what all do you make time for? Now think about the things you don't have time for.
Some of you might be in graduate school with a legitimate reason for not having time or maybe you've got a hyper demanding job, heck some of you have 5 kids! I understand we can't always have spare time to do what ever we please, however there's always time for something that we just don't really need to spend our precious time on.
If we think of time as being finite in a day, from the moment we wake, we are "wasting daylight".
Tick. Tock.
What if we stop looking at time as a finite resource for each day? What if we instead look at it in chunks? Is there 15, 30, 60 minutes a day you could carve out for yourself? Time for you to do something positive for yourself. A hot bubble bath? A fresh cooked dinner for a change? Maybe it's just a cup of coffee and getting lost in your thoughts? Maybe you'll finally get a chance to kill those pesky aliens.
How much time did you waste Facebook stalking today? Find some time and spend it doing something positive for yourself. Set aside as much as you can and do anything! Make it personal, make it useful to you. You will thank me.
