Well. I’m here because I’m rivaling your time-wasting skills. 3 1/2 hours on the computer and not a checkmark on the list to show for it. I’m having great fun reading blog posts, though!

I echo your sentiment about leaving time behind – I used to attend and run retreats where everyone had to turn in their watches at the beginning, and it was so freeing to never have to look at the time or worry about taking too long doing something. Good conversation was always one result!

Yes, like money, time and energy are precious resources and should be treated as such.

I find myself conserving energy by trying to arrive places early, not just on time. If my kids and I are not in a mad rush to get ready for school, we conserve both mental and physical energy that could be wasted on stressing, nagging, and running around.

I love being able to stroll to school in a leisurely pace, to arrive a few minutes early so the kids can get their wiggles out on the playground before sitting down to their desks, and having the time to chat with other parents.

Starting the morning off right in this way — being gentle and respectful of our energy — can really extend how much we are able to accomplish during the day.

Thanks for the great post.

Time is one of the few constants that we humans have not yet found a way to cheat or overcome. Thus we are left to manage it as best we can. I love your tip to feed of the energy of others. I find it absolutely terrific to surround myself with like minded people. I feel great when I have opportunities to do this!

Thanks for helping me realize that I have a gift! It is also nice to know that my gift is not unique to me!

I find that I swing out of balance with a variety of ‘time-wasters’. I’ll either spend hours of unfocused time on the computer, or I’ll skew off in the other direction and essentially abandon my computer (and blog) for months at a time.

I am proud to say that I have begun to say no to what I am only mildly interested in so that I can say yes to the things I am passionate about. Essentially I am learning to pick my battles (or vices).

My home is a huge time suck- just the hours spent puttering and decluttering. My goal is to get the whole thing decluttered once and for all this winter and then use my newfound ability to say ‘no’ to household items as well.

Thanks for a great post!

Time managment is a huge problem for me. I think it’s good advice to think about where you put your energy. Like many moms, I’m spread thin between work, family and blogging. Thanks for the reminder!

The biggest time waster for me is being unfocused… I can spend a whole day being terribly busy , working hard all day, being totally exhausted at the end of it and achieving nothing… The power of being distracted: Get up, coffee machine on, take some dishes from the dishwasher while coffee brews, remember to get the laundry to the washer, get breakfast out, shower, remember coffee but just grab the mail from the mail box and then start to sweep the doorstep… finally have breakfast closer to lunch time but cannot put the dishes in the dishwasher because I never finished emptying it… My challenge to save time is to be disciplined enough to finish one task, no matter how big or small, before I start the next one!!!

Hi Corey.

Yes time wasting is an interesting concept because what are we wasting here?

For me time is about completion. I do things to complete and when I am done, I am done and I can go and play.

I make sure that I am able to complete what I start and when I can’t I won’t start or renegotiate an extension. That way I feel no push for time and I feel I have all the time in the world.

Like with all menmade invention we have gone greedy, we want more of everything, more than we need, we even want more time and how weird is that.

As you say we have become a slave of time, we have become a slave of our activities and when we do important daydream, we get told we waste time?!

I am with you all the way on this one.
