I was once told that each of us are given 24 hours in a day. How we spend our time and invest our interest defines us and creates the world we share in reality.
One could could say that we are born architects and creators by nature. Modern society has seemed to do all it can to deistract us and keep us preoccupied with the struggle of surviving and building someone else dream, rather than living naturally and balanced. Most of us today spend atleast eight ours a day plus commute time laboring to earn our way in our modern social construct. That’s if we are fortunate enough to have a job or means of earning our way. The welfare system has grown and continues to grow as our economic system slowly and consistently begins to fail. What are we doing wrong? Every empire has is rise and fall, and since the bubble burst back in 1998 things seem to have regressed rather than progressed like previous decades.
As indaviduals we struggle to find balance in our lives with in the 24 hour cycle. To find balance with work, family and self it takes planning and persistence. It seems to me the further we move forward the harder the struggle to find balance in time. It takes conscious awareness coupled with cognitive planning to navigate through each day and suffice our needs. Prioritizatiins of task is also a key component when working within the confines of what we perceive as time.
Each of us much understand the value of our time and learn to wisely invest it throughout each day, and this is not something most of us are really taught anymore. I myself struggle each day to properly invest my time as I prioritize the task I am faced with, while trying to balance time for recreation, rest and fulfillment of needs.
What I have done in my own life is divide the 24 day cycle into 3 aspects, setting aside 8-10 hours a day for work. 6-8 hours a day for recreation, self improvement and maintainance. The final 8 hours for personal care and sleep. By doing this I feel have have gained a certain control over my life and well as invested my time and attention more wisely. There are surely times when adjustments must be made to suit situations, but for the most part I go by this lay out and feel as if I have denifited by taking more control of my time and Life.
