Time Pressure

I have the will  but not the time to do so many pleasurable activities. Time seems to be getting more and more squeezed everyday. Everyone I talk to says the same thing " I don't know where the time went'.

My theory is that between electronic communication, ease of home computer access and the extreme use of mobile phones outside our normal work hours ,we have effectively added in another 3 -4 hours on top of our normal work day. This is making us feel time pressured and overwhelmed.

Just think about it. I know I get up in the morning at around 6am and check my emails and catch up with anything I missed the day before. At the end of the day I check my emails, finish a document or two and am still taking calls at 8pm. So this is my challenge to myself and to you. Turn off the computer and the mobile phone every day by 7pm. Just see if it makes a difference. I will check back in next week with what happened to me.
