A Simple Way to Use Time Efficiently

We have been told that time is an artificial construct only our lived experience does not feel like that!

Time feels relevant, full of meaning. We have appointments, schedules, flights, people to meet…

So perhaps the way to look at time is to ask yourself, are you using your time or filling your time?

In other words, how do your days feel? Are they exciting and vibrant? Do you feel alive and excited about your life?

Or are you waiting for the day to end? For you to be done with some task you don’t like in order to relax, chill out, or do what you want to do.

One of the most important lessons I learned about time, is that it is happening right now.

I often find myself quoting a line from a John Lennon song, “life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.”

It isn’t so much about tomorrow, or even yesterday, it’s about right now.

How present are you in your moment? Have you stopped to read these words, or are you skimming this while listening to the radio and monitoring your work emails?

I realize it sounds counterintuitive. But the only guarantee we have is the moment.

How can you make it the best one you have? The most fun? Most fulfilling? Most love filled?

How can today be the best day you have ever lived?

I’m not saying don’t make plans -make them AND live today fully.

Don’t expect that tomorrow things will be better.

Tomorrow starts right now, because how fulfilled, how happy, how rich you feel tomorrow is 100% dependent on how fulfilled, happy and rich you feel right now.

So what do you say?

Ready to really use your life and be fully engaged right now?

There’s no time like this moment to start.
