No time, No TIME!!!

by Mike

Rush of responsibilities both personally and professionally is making me feel old!
Not that I’m complaining or anything because it was all my choices and I really did crave all this responsiblity. But now that I have it all, I wonder if I really knew how to handle responsiblities.

The good old familiar feeling of not enough time in a day is back but this time, there is one major difference. I actually need more sleep than before. Gone are the days of functioning just fine with 4 hours per night. I actually need 6 or more! To be completely honest, I think I need my 8 hours now. 8 hours! that’s 100% increase in sleep time! Work for at least 9 hours per day, plus the transit between work and home (or where ever I need to be), I have less than 14 hours of personal time. Take 8 hours of sleep out then I get 6 hours to do everything else. Time for food and personal grooming needs need at least 3 hours per day. Then the last short 3 hours really isn’t long enough to do anything productive. I can just waste that time away doing nothing while surfing the net.

3 hours! crap! If I work out, then there goes most of that 3 hours every other day! What can I do in 3 hours? No wonder time flies and I’m getting older so fast!
