2006-10-09 RiddleRose: wow... i know the feeling. no time, no time, no time! work work work... here's my solution: take a nice long shower, really long, indulge yourself. sing! singing in the shower is fun. then afterward, just pick up a book and read, under pretext of not being dry enough to do anything useful yet. ;) and every day, set aside some amount of time, it could be only five minutes, to remind yourself that you're important too, not just all the work that needs to be done. after all, if you collapse, the work will never get done! 2006-10-10 Calliope: Thanks ^.^ 2006-10-12 RiddleRose: or a bath. baths are even better 2006-10-12 Calliope: I love my bath time. Some epsom salts, candles and of course, a good book. 2006-10-14 RiddleRose: but don't drop it!!! that would be terrible! i've always wanted a kind of waterproof book-cover type of thing so that i could take a book in the shower too... i think that would be a pretty cool invention. 2006-10-14 Calliope: I've yet to drop a book in. I've thought of it happening many times though. Especially when it's a library book heh[Calliope]: 216.Musings.Ti

Work now. School now. Homework now. Constantly pressed for time, never having enough for life's most mundane tasks. Laundry lies forgotten, screaming for something as simple as a glance. The fish dehydrate as their water evaporates at the same pace that I find myself moving. So this is life.
We're raised knowing that it's coming, the theft of ourselves. The moulding into societal figures. Still, this loss echoes within me. Could I not carve out half an hour for a walk? My books gather dust because of my fear that, if I start them, other obligations will be put on a back burner. I feel as if I'm a rope and this constant battle is a tug of war. On one side is the boss, to pressed for workers to comprehend part time and schooling. On another are the professors, to obligated to recognize the realities of survival in our world. Then there's another side, myself, fighting for what I've left behind. For the peace and comfort of home that is only a shadow in my mind. Is their a balance between these factors?
I am pressured for time in all sectors. Time to get everything done. Time to figure things out. Time to find who I am in this racetrack of a world. Maybe I should try Google, perhaps they have a guide of neotime management. There might even be other helpful links referring to jobs, bills, homework and such. Oh the things for me too look forward too! Search engines beware, I'm on the prowl for answers and you're my primary resources.
But this outlook brings me to another musing. Previous generations lacked search engines yet they survived. This evolution of approaches is a hazard in my view. It manipulates our usuage of time and distorts our perception of it. Is there really an answer to balancing time and life requirements? If there is I've yet to find it so onward with the search.
Oh, and if you happen to find the secret, feel free to pass it on, it could be of some use.
