Another year almost gone. Seems like it just started. I
guess it’s true what they say, the older you get, the faster time goes. I had a
lot of stuff I wanted to get done this past year and barely made a dent in it.
Not enough time. The story of my life.
Don’t get me wrong, I managed to accomplish a lot of things.
We are talking about a whole year here. But in comparison to what I have
left, it’s like I was on vacation.
The problem is, I schedule about thirty hours of work for
every day. And, as you may know, there are currently only twenty-four hours in
each of them. At least that’s what I’m told. Seems like it’s a lot less. And
every year it gets worse. Drastically worse. If things keep progressing at this
rate, by the time I’m sixty, there’ll only be about two hours in the day. And
I’ll still have thirty hours of work to do in each one.
Maybe I need a time machine to slow things down a bit. If I
could set it to give me thirty-six hours a day, that should do it. It might
even provide me with a little time to sleep! On second thought, that probably
wouldn’t work—I’d just come up with more things I wanted to do. And the next
year we’d be revisiting the same issue—all the things I didn’t get done.
Perhaps a more viable solution would be to consult all those
people who spend their entire day and night protesting everything under the
sun. They seem to have a lot of free time. Would it be possible to borrow some
of theirs? Or maybe all of it? After all, they’re apparently not using it.
Okay, back to reality. While it would be nice to find a few
extra hours, unless some Einstein figures out how time being relative can
actually help me, it’s never going to change. I’m stuck with a mere twenty-four
hours in the day that fly by.
People tell me I should relax,
not try to take on so many projects. (Hello? Like that would work! I’d get even
less done). Quite often I’m advised to slow down, take it easy, or just stop.
I’d have more time, they say. Yeah, right! I can’t do that—before you know it,
another year will be gone!
Happy New Year!
