Time
Posted by Moss under: Business .
Most people struggle with time, especially time management: Making lists, prioritizing, efficiency, and dealing with urgencies. The promise of technology was to free us up to have more time. Unfortunately, the average American worker has lost almost a month of leisure time during the last decade. Many of us feel like we are always “catching up.”
Time passes quickly. What do you have to show for the decade of time you have already used up? Have you achieved your heart’s desires in your work? Marriage? Wealth? Relationships? Health? Personal development? Are your spending too much time “catching up?”
You and your partner spend a lot of time together. You might consider thinking about time differently than only time management or becoming more efficient. Try reflecting on how your past, present, and future are interconnected.
Past Time: Your challenges and victories. Your mistakes and failures. What you have learned. Your mentors and teachers. Your traditions.
Present Time: Today’s current reality. Today’s challenges and opportunities. Today’s call to action. Today’s health of your partnership.
Future Time: Desired results 5-10 years from now. Creating a future that inspires your partnership. Reconnecting to your partnership vision.
Bottom Line
- The past, present, and future all define you and your partnership.
- Appreciate the past.
- Align your present actions with your future goals.
- Let your imagination, dreams, and intentions guide you and you partner’s future.
