From Kevin Hoctor’s piece on time:
Statements that begin with “I wish I had more time to…” are red flags for me. When I hear myself say something like, “I wish I had more time to exercise and get in shape,” it really means that I need to make time to exercise. Wishing it won’t change anything. I won’t magically have more time or extra energy by making that comment, so it’s useless.
Lots of sound advice in there. I find myself thinking more and more about time, and throwing away the excuses not to do things.
