“I have no enough time in life” this is the most common complaint most of you have. This is also an excuse you give yourself when your success is delayed.

“I have a heavy backlog of work as I did not have time to finish it.”

“I am always racing against time.”

How many of you have cited your lack of time for your nonperformance?

Let me the first one to raise my hand as I never knew the value of time until recently.

My experience about not having enough time in life

I speak from my experience.

I always had a flair for writing. And I was interested in topics dealing with relationships and self-improvement.

My son-in-law encouraged me to bring my writing to the outside world and designed a blog for me.

Do you know what I did?

I didn’t write a single post for nearly a year. I had a long list of excuses with me. Though there were many excuses, my major one was that I didn’t have enough time.

“I am tied up with my household work and I don’t have enough time to write articles.”

“How can find time in between my family duties to write articles?” I told myself.

In actual fact these were not the real reasons. The real reason for me delaying my work was because I was unsure of myself. I thought I would never get any viewers for my writing.

One day I realized that I was wasting my time watching TV and just lazing around. I did have enough time in hand. Only I did not use it. And by wasting my time I was delaying my success.

“God! How many precious hours have I wasted?” I regretted the time I had misused

But this is a thing of past. I do not waste my time nowadays. I now plan my day as soon as I get up in the morning.

Most of you commit the same mistake I did – cribbing that you do not have enough time in life.

Take a paper and pen and list out what you do in a day and how much time is taken for that.

You will be amazed to know that you have much more time than you calculated. But most of your time is wasted by your lazy attitude of doing nothing.  

Does this mean that you need to be on your toes twenty-four hours a day?

“Do I have no right to enjoy my life?”

“Do I have to keep on working day in and day out to prove myself?”

Your questions are logical enough.  This is not what I am implying. You work to earn money and you earn money to enjoy life. Life which is all work and no enjoyment is not worth living.

You somehow allot time to enjoy your life. But when it comes to work, your mind speedily readies a lame excuse of no enough time.

How is it you manage to have time for your enjoyments in life and not for your betterment?

When you procrastinate your work, you should understand that you are delaying your success.

Assuming negative results from your endeavors make you put off your work.

Every one of us dread week days.

Why is it so?

Week days are your work days and you have to be on your toes to please your boss\higher officials.

You enjoy your weekends because you are your own boss and can do whatever you want with the time you have in your hand.

This is a wrong way of living your life.

You should like your profession. You should enjoy your work. If you do so, you will easily allot your time in a proper way to be work efficient. And when you utilize your work time properly you can easily achieve incredible success.

Here are ways to have enough time in life!
