How do we all manage to exist in our daily lives? Between managing our food intake, our exercise level, our work, our kids, our relationships, our friendships, our spiritual life, our errands...how do we find time to get some fun time? Nevermind getting some quiet time just to sit and think. I've been unemployed for about 5 weeks. I still feel like their isn't time enough in the day to get everything I want to do done. People around me are finding time to take course, create art, volunteer and many more things, and I have no clue how. Someone please enlighten me? So far I'm getting a lot of stuff done, but I never feel like I am getting as much done as I should.

New resume versions up top of here...all updated. If you've got ideas on how I could improve them, please let me know!

You know, my grandfather said the same thing when he retired a few years ago. It's been six or seven years, and he's still "going" all day, every day, and still hasn't figured out when he had time to work. Interestingly enough, though, it does seem that the things we have to do cut in more and more to the things we like to do - as time goes on, our free time is quickly evaporating. I thought this digital revolution was supposed to make our lives easier and less stressful, but it seems to be doing just the opposite. Having the capability to be in constant contact with the entire world increases both our workload and our worries. It's really becoming more and more important to find a job that's what you really love doing, if only because that way you won't notice that you don't have time for the things you enjoy. Or win the lottery. That'd work, too. Posted by Jason @ 01/30/2003 02:47 PM PST
