I was at a Mary Kay event this morning, and the guest speaker said something that resonated within me.
She said, "We all have the same 168 hours in every week. What are you doing with your time to stand out?"
Wow. I feel like such a slacker. I have been consistently exercising 6 days a week for three weeks and that equals approximately one hour per day. And that is about the only productive thing that I have done for the last three weeks. So let's break it down.
168
- 7 hours per week exercising (giving myself a cushion for the days I go over)
-49 hours I spend sleeping
--------
112 hours per week that I could be doing something productive.
I don't have a "real" job. I have several small but important jobs: the house, yard, apartments. I have one main job...Nate. Let's just say that I can (and should) spend 40 hours on bettering myself and my family.
We were told today to make a dream list or a "bucket list" and start working on crossing things off of that list. A couple of the things on that list is to finish my personal training certification and to finish editing my book. I should be able to do both of those things all the while getting my Mary Kay business going again.
It's time for the proverbial sh*t or get off the pot. Crude, but true. I have been a stay at home mom for five years, and Nate is now at school more than he is at home. He needs me for less "hands on" time and I can start dreaming big for myself.
Time. It's a great commodity. Probably the most valuable, and I have lots of it. Now I just need the dream to attach to that time.
