There is always more than enough schedule for an entire lifetime to fix in a day as both planned and unplanned activities come into play at all times. Time is an illusion as it is said but it is finite and we all have equal time to get things done and whatever results we get from it is just a sum of everything that is. One thing I have been complaining about in the past few weeks is not having enough time to do the things I want to do but then I thought about it, I have the same time as you do as well as every other person on the planet (well, I can’t say for those in the International Space Station or on Mars), so what did I notice from all this that got me thinking of a solution.
The first is, I wasn’t in control of so many things. My decision, my action, time, reactions, and so many things. I spent unnecessary time on unnecessary things. I shouldn’t spend the entire time sobbing over something I already lost when I could get it back if I worked with time fairly. I shouldn’t spend my entire time deciding on something I want to do over a short time, I shouldn’t be indecisive about things when I am asked, I should be able to say no to things that will waste my time but the truth is, I do not have control of myself and those my decisions, so I get affected and lose time as a result of that. I should be able to schedule my time, actions, doings, and works properly instead of acting based on reactions to make decisions.
Too high expectations is another thing that really messes up with my entire day. I set a very expectation and when I do not meet with those expectations, I become rather worried that time isn’t on my side. I have always suffered from the sickness of getting too much done in a day and I do not know if anyone suffers the same sickness? I expect too much to be done in so little 24 hours that isn’t completely mine.
One other problem that always goes unsolved is the ability to Prioritize. Not all activities are equal and not all things are worth the time. Time is never waiting and when you want to do things, it is very difficult to understand that they do not need much of those time. I got to understand that time is something that keeps going every tick tock matters in the race.
I have always wasted time doing search both for personal belongings and to proof people wrong. This is very annoying as I always want to proof to people that they are wrong and when I do this, I always waste time. Also, I never understood the importance of keeping things tidy until I kept a lot of things arranged and not scattered so I would start looking for them. Time gone isn’t regained unless with a different label which is another date. I thought of it, even when I am right, I do not have to proof to you that I am right because in the process, I will be wasting time, precious time.
Scrolling from page to page on social media got me concerned. Yesterday, I deliberately set a one hours alarm and decided to get myself engrossed in the social media world and when my alarm rang, it was like I hadn’t done anything and I wasn’t satisfied. I wanted more time to go through it to meet that maximum utility.
Multi-tasking is my major problem. Thinking I am doing a lot with the little time I have doing different things haven’t really helped me. The human brain was designed to do one task at a time but a lot of us often think we are king of multi-tasking but the fact remains that their brain gives priority to one task over the other and it takes the brain some minutes to reset back to doing what you were doing in the past.
I have leant a lot in this period of trying to get my time back, trying not to live on other peoples’ expectation and no time pressure. I have come to understand that time is a currency for everything that is done, either sleeping, eating, shopping, working, walking, playing, traveling and so on. You cannot do anything without exchanging time as a currency.

Greetings @gbenga
It happens to me the same way, since I can remember I always want to do everything programmed in one day, however, I confess that in recent years, I no longer get angry when I can not meet the scheduled activities, I think that in some way, I am adapting to my pace of work, of course I always put priorities, I'm leaving things unfinished for the next day, and of course come to do the following priorities, now this new way of being quiet with myself, in some way has given me a higher level of productivity. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful entry.
Hi @gbenga
As I read your publication, I felt identified with wanting to be mutilated and the very unpleasant feeling of never fulfilling everything you set out to do that day.
However, for several months I have been studying to improve this situation.
In conclusion, planning and learning to delegate tasks are definitely the key to achieving the proposed objectives.
Greetings @gbenga.
An excellent content that you share with us in this opportunity related to that important and essential physical magnitude as it is the time.
Actually in these times the time factor hits us all, so it is important to highlight what you express:
I believe that these aspects allow us to have a proper understanding of the topic raised, extraordinary content thanks for sharing it. Successes.
Hello @gbenga
Time is infinite, but not for each of us, obviously.
Making optimal use of it is something we must learn. Giving priority and dedicating time to what really deserves it is a strategy that will make us more efficient in what we do.
