Time Management

It's 6pm now. 11 hours since I started work. The building was quiet when I entered and it got loud pretty quickly as people busied about with various rush jobs. I mostly ducked from being included. This job is still ploughing on in my machine. The radios have fallen silent and I am once again alone. This is the quality time of work when it's just myself and I can pull up a chair and watch my machine in comfort and without neighbouring workmates casting glances at me. My body has a slight vibration of fatigue of the long day but my mind is enjoying counting the future money falling into my bank account like leaves made from £5 notes in my minds eye. 

My own company is more special to me than that of a 'partner'. It's true, odd but true. My tea is resting in my belly now as Tuesday marches onwards.

7:22pm whilst sat reading Derren Browns autobiography and really enjoying it, I considered the fact that he is a great guy and when it comes down to it... A loser like the rest if us. He has chosen to devote hour upon hour to his chosen path of Magic. He could have been exploring the world or bungee jumping but instead he read up on card shuffling and other seemingly monotonous activities. 

It dawned on me that ALL of us choose to waste the best of our hours on things we love. For example, I watch films most of all. I also write this blog and many other writings because its something I enjoy and MOST IMPORTANTLY it comes easy. 

If I wanted to become a magician say, the hours I'd have to spend on learning magic skills etc would require real effort. Whereas watching one film or more each day is as second nature as breathing. Picking up any writing device, be it ipod pad or diary is something which happens automatically practically. 

It takes little effort. 

I think every persons main hours should be spent doing something they love or enjoy. I know people probably veg in front of the tv in the absence of anything better to do but that's not life fulfilment is it? 

I can lose a day watching tv but not because I can't think of what to do but because its exactly what I wish to do. 

I hope you get my meaning. D Brown lost hours, weeks and years perfecting his magic and it no doubt came easily. 

There are things we instinctively enjoy and things which we picture ourselves doing but are actually very EFFORT involved. 

Use your time wisely people.
