Time- your best friend or your worst enemy

If you have been following my blog, I dedicated the next few posts to answer email questions. I have to detour a little for something that's been burning on my mind. As you know, there are 168 hours in a week. Let's take off 56 hours for sleep (assuming you get 8 hours a night of sleep, most of us don't). Let's also take off 50 hours for work (Most people work 40 hours, but let's say 50 to account for overtime), that leaves you 62 hours a week. The burning question is what do you do with your extra time? This question has been burning in my mind because I read a report that the average American watches 34.5 hours a week of TV, REALLY??? If we dedicated 34.5 hours a week to figure out what we want to be when we grow up, and then attack that goal, how long would it take to accomplish it? I'm guessing not very long. As an everyday working man or woman it's easy to have a hard day at work and come home and just want to veg out, I've done it. The problem is life is to short to waste any of those hours! Are you using your spare time to do everything you want to do? If your a parent, do you ignore your kids for your favorite show? When was the last time you read a good book, not fiction, something that would help improve your life? And let me just close with this: If your at a job or business that you constantly need to decompress from, what are you still doing there? Could you use any of those 62 hours to break free? Only you can answer that! I've found personal the answer is yes, and I hope you will to.
