What would you do if you had more time?

Where would you be if you had more time?

How would your life look if you had more time?

You might not agree with me but…

I’ll venture to guess your life would look the same.

Now before you get upset with me, just hear me out.

Rarely is more time the solution.

In fact just having more hours only gives you more time to do exactly what you’re doing right now. There’s a name for this phenomenon and it’s called Parkinson’s Law. Essentially what it says is, “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion”.

So, more time is not the answer.

The answer is getting more out of the time you have.

There’s an attention grabber behind every corner and keystroke just waiting to rob you of your time, ready to cajole you into thinking what they have to say is more important than your time.

These time thieves will do all they can to lure you away from your time.

Stop taking the bait.

The best way to stop is to prioritize and then protect your time.

Prioritize so that you can allot the time needed to work on what is important to you. And then protect that time. Don’t let outside influences cannibalize your time.

Nobody has ever had more time. They’ve just been able to do more with their time. And if you’re diligent about your time you’ll realize that you can do more with your time too.
