Work Work and Time

How do you all find time to do the things you do. Ever sit and wish there
were 30 hours in a day? Ah that would be heaven.


Think about it, 30 hours.

8 hours to sleep
1 hour to get ready and go to work
8 hours to work.
1 hour to go to the gym
2 hours at the gym
1 hour to get to class
5 hours for class
4 hours for homework and freetime.

= 30 hours



Nice and free...
right now its more like

7 Hours to sleep
1 hour to get to class
5 hours for class
1 hour to get to the gym
2 hours at the gym
1 hour to get to work
6 hours at work
1 hour to get home

= 24 hours

Notice the less sleep, the less work and the no free time?

Yes, 30 hour days would be perfect, more time would make life so much easier.

Through the darkness the light fades.

Well 3 week. 21 days. That is how long I have not been going to the gym I'm not sure exactly why. What I do know I gave up, and everyday I thought of getting back into it. Everyday I sat and said "today is the day I will start it back up". So what happened?


Excuses.


The dreaded get out of what you need to do card. Everyone has excuses, everyone loves to use them, some of us are so good at them we don't even think about it before we throw one out there. A quote I came across on some website said something like "The difference between success and failure is the number of excuses we make.".

Excuses are easy, convenient, guilt free. We can use the most simplest thing, and blow it up just enough that we can use it. That is the danger of excuses, the thing that threatens us so much. The only people keepingus from achieving what we want is us.

A few realizations dawned on me though.
The first being I don't know how I will be successful in engineering if I can't stick to something.
The second being it is summer, and I wish I looked good enough to wear the clothes I wanted.

The first really hit me hard though, I think I need to develop a self dicipline, no one walks out and gives you things in life that are worthwhile. To get where I want I need to earn it.

Thank you all for your emails and comments, I'm sorry if I let you down. I hope I won't again, but everyone falls, the important thing is I am getting back up.
