Don’t have time? That’s an excuse!

Half of November has passed. Next month is the end of this year, so it feels like time is passing twice as fast for me. In our case, the main reason for this is that our one-year-old son is too energetic. For example, when I go into my room to work and close the door, my son comes and makes a fuss outside asking me to play. I had no choice but to deal with him for a while, and then he used his poop to change his diaper, and while I was doing that, he swallowed something… and then one sudden thing happened one after another. In the meantime, an hour has passed.

I’m running out of time and I’m getting a little impatient, so I try to say to my son, “Please, please,”  but he doesn’t understand even when I say, “Please be in my place.”  I have no choice but to do it. For this reason, it has become very important to have plenty of time these days.

By the way, many people probably say, “I don’t have time.”  When I was an office worker, there is a phrase that I often repeat in conversations with my boss. My boss told me, “You wouldn’t be doing this,” and I replied, “I don’t have time,” to which he replied, “I have to make time.”  I’m embarrassed to say that later on, I realized that although it’s easy to make excuses like “I don’t have time,” I just wasn’t making any effort.

This kind of thing is likely to happen at home as well. There are so many things I want to do, including work, housework, and childcare, and I don’t want to cut corners on any of them. There may be some people who think like that.  Also, it’s easy to write things off as saying you don’t have time, but if negative energy doesn’t want the person to grow and acts as a hindrance, the excuse of “I don’t have time” may become more common. There will be.

Therefore, it is important to carefully review how you use your time and make efforts to cut down on wasted time. Prioritize things by making a list of what you want to do and what you need to do, and focus on one thing at a time to increase efficiency. Also, if you run out of mental space, you will be less efficient, so be careful.

We will be holding an online mini retreat seminar from the end of this month. We will also hold a gathering of members for three weeks in December. If you have time, or even if you feel like you don’t have time, please join us to increase your energy, keep away negative energy, improve your concentration, and improve your efficiency.
