As time goes by, and other music interludes..

T, t, t, ticking away the moments that make up a dull day..... (Pink Floyd)


Time is of the essence. For the past month I have become acutely aware of time. It is a precious commodity available each day in a finite amount. I am amazed at how easily it is wasted. A moment here as my children show me some great moves in their latest video game conquest, or a television show that catches you and holds your attention, either because it is inane crap or an absolute gem of writing and production. The fact remains that unless my intent at that moment was to watch it there is something else that I could be doing. I am resolved to make better conscious use of my time throughout the day. Not because I am a miracle of over-achievement and organization, but because a little conscious effort in this way might drastically improve my efficiency. Improved efficiency does several things. One is to get what needs doing out of the way, and that leaves more time for the time to enjoy life and family and music and movies and books and all those things that get backlogged by business.

Well, that's all the time I have for this. I will schedule regular posts so I can be efficient at this too.
