Time Monsters

Time Monsters: We all have them. They are those annoying little things that seem to steal away minutes, even hours, from our days and weeks.

For some, it may be the internet. "Surfing" online may start out as "research." Or we may have good intentions of trying to save time by shopping online, instead of at the malls. But before you know it, it sucks us in and we have lost half the day sitting in front of our glowing screens.

For others, the drive for perfection may be costing precious time. Do you spend extra time on tasks trying to make them just "perfect," when "good enough" would actually suffice?

Another evil time monster is the television. I know there can be a heated debate between those who love and those who detest the "idiot box." Personally, I enjoy a good show from time to time. But it is very easy to be sucked into TV, too.

So what time monsters do YOU deal with? Much like a dieter keeps a food log to heighten awareness of how much and what type of food they REALLY eat throughout the day, I challenge you to keep a time log. Jot down how long some you spend on some of your daily routines. After a week, see if you can spot your time monsters. You may just be surprised at what you find!

Simply yours,
