There isn't enough time in the day

The past few weeks have been hectic. Tons of projects, life events and general things to do. It’s getting to the point where I feel like there isn’t enough time in the day.

I personally have never been a busybody. I can sit still and be quiet. I can entertain myself when I need to. Oh this moss is kinda cute. Wow, that tree is so spindly. I wonder what kinds of bugs live under this rock. Why does this flower look so strange? You get the picture.

I remember I used to be so content sitting at home all day playing video games, going outside to swim, harassing lizards with my bow and arrow. (I was a menace I know. They didn’t die. I think). These days, I haven’t thought about a video game in years. Can’t even fathom picking up a book for fun (even though it was one of my ‘ins’) or riding in circles in the driveway for hours.

I guess it’s just the stage of life I am in - early career, trying to make something of myself while also spending time with my friends, keeping active and keeping my apartment in semi decent shape. It feels like a whirlwind where everything all at once is flying at you and all you have to catch them all with a tea strainer.

It feels like something has to be sacrificed for the gods. But what? Everything is important, they all play off each other. If I don’t sleep enough, I can function to be productive. If I don’t clean, I feel like the place is a mess and I can’t think clearly. If I don’t keep fit, I feel gross and it trickles down to cleaning and doing what I need to. You get the picture.

How do you make time for everything in life? How do you choose what to sacrifice? Why do I always end these newsletters with more questions than when I started?

I guess we still have a lot to figure out. At least we can do it together.

See you next week,
Max
