People often ask me how I find time to "do stuff." Well, the simple answer is, I don't! While I might find the stray sock that I thought the dryer ate or a little cash in a coat pocket on pizza night, I never find time. I also don't make time. I'm not some powerful divine source that can produce a little extra time when I'm running short. So how do I run a business, work for someone else's business, volunteer in my community and (recently added) write two blogs? I schedule my time -- and if you are going to "do stuff," you'll probably have to join the ranks of mere mortals everywhere using calendars, computers and aps . . . and do the same thing.
Now, I'm not a slave to a schedule. And I like to invite the unexpected and spontaneous into my life. Still, when it comes to achieving my goals, I put my milestones on the calendar and schedule the use of the finite resource that is time.
Snowman Training Notes. Another hot day had us out completing today's climb endurance workout right after breakfast. Seven miles with the regular hills. Total workout time today: 1:40.
Thought for the day: "Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein."
