I have extremely taxed on my time lately. I apologize if your orders have been behind, that is entirely my fault. But bear with me, I'm thinking through something.I've frequently felt that there is more to do than there is time to do it. And thats not just because my mother used to always say things to that effect, I've made the observation independent of her. So I decided to crunch some numbers.
I listed the things I am called upon, obliged, expected, or otherwise required to do in a week. Don't get me wrong, I like some of these things, but that doesn't' change the fact that they are a need in one way or another, they are requisite.
With 168 hours in a week, here is how I broke it down.
Is it just me, or is this absurd? Just under 7 1/2 hours to use your life as you'd like. I am sure I've left out very important things as well. Family time (FHE). Ward activities. Service. Tests. Laundry. Cleaning my room. My car. I'm sure you can think of more. Maybe blogging.And you know what? I'd like to enjoy myself on occasion, and it seems like thats almost impossible without nixing something important. I'd like to listen to music. I'd like to even make some. Same with movies. And T-Shirts. Heck, I'd like to spend some time in the week doing nothing, just thinking. But that doesn't seem like an option. Please people, tell me I'm wrong, tell me theres a better way.
