As I was sitting in my room last night all I could think about was how there are honestly not enough hours in a day for me to get everything I need to do completed.
A typical day for me is as follows: 6 a.m. wake up, eat breakfast, get ready for school, be out the door by 7 , be to school by 7:30, get out of school at 3:45, costume crew till 5:30, come home, do homework, try and fill out college applications or scholarships, work on my blog. I am constantly thinking of things I need to do, have to do, or want to do. My brain just won't shut up!
Honestly I sometimes wonder how I find time to breathe. As I sat in my room last night overwhelmed with filling out college applications and studying. I thought about what it would be like if we were given one more hour in a day. Just one.
In today's world, Americans are constantly working. Most might even agree that we are workaholics, constantly striving to do our best and work our way up. I admire that about Americans, but I also can't help but wonder what it would be like if it were different. Instead of measuring success in how much we make or what title we have in a company, what if we all were to all start measuring success in the amount of time we spend doing things we love? Or the time we spend with our loved ones?
Some days I find writing on my blog a chore, but that's only because I'm thinking about everything else I need to do and it blocks my creativity. Once I get an idea I can't wait to write it down and share. I honestly believe that we all need to start taking five to ten minutes out of our busy, stressful life's to do something we love. If we do that, maybe our world would be a little bit better.
So my question to you is: What would you do with that hour? Would you use it to get more work done? Would you get an extra hour of sleep? Or would you use it to do something you love?
