In today's world that we live in, there are just millions or billions of media to consume and activities to join. You have all kinds of streaming services, like NetFlix, Disney+ and Apple TV+. The crowd is just going to be increasing from here on. We have so many books to read, music to listen to, and activities to participate in. The list just keeps getting longer and longer. We are spoilt for choice.
How does one have the time to do it all? There is going to be only one solution.
Live a very long life. Maybe many lifetimes of the average human being.
It's not so much of how long we live. But rather how many hours we have in a day. We can't forget that we need to work to earn a living. Some of us that are content creators are even going to be hard-pressed for downtime.
Unless you have a massive team from the get-go, you will have no time to do anything but work, which is for another article.
Let's just focus on how much time we have for downtime.
If we are to sleep 8 hours, we have 16 hours a day. Work 8 hours, and we still have 8 hours to do anything we want. Thus there is a system that goes like 8-8-8. Work-Play-Sleep.
I am going to be running a 12-7-5 system. Which system which I am just thinking about while typing out this system. It looks to me like it is doable.
Let's increase the number to 12-8-4, and that is doable too.
Wow. The realisation that I have so much time on my hands is mind-boggling.
I can still have a life outside of work.
We should be aware of what we watch on TV, consume the news, and pick the right hobbies to get us trying to live a good and decent life.
I'm pretty much psyched right now to know that I have time as my friend. So we can continue to enjoy each other's company and stop being enemies.
If we were, I would probably never go anywhere in life.
This I must say.
That what we do with our time is very important. Consuming junk and doing activities that do not enhance our well-being will not allow us to go anywhere in life but down.
Thus, today...I am deciding to keep my activities and hands 'dirty' with the right kind of time for work, play and sleep.
I think I have just realised something that will take me far. I must constantly remind myself that time is my friend. All will be fine if I respect Mister Time and participate in suitable activities.
I hope you will too.
