One thing mankind has no power over is TIME. Even when you decide to tamper with your wall clock, trying to stop it from ticking, it still doesn't affect the Time because by the time you decide to have a working clock in your home or anywhere you are and remain relevant with the world then you have to forward set it to the present and actual time it is.
It's so painful when we see people around us or even ourselves wasting away our precious time when time actually waits for no one.
As there is a time to sow, there is the time to reap or harvest. Time for raining, time for summer, time for birth and time for death. Everything about life has to do with time and most times we live behind it.
From the time that I quit being an employee and taking a break, I ensured that I get myself fixed with one or more activities, from my personal art skill to other things but still I had this anxiety in me like I was not utilizing my time well and felt like the 16hours or more out of the 24hours was still not enough for me to live a fulfilled day even if this was still affecting my sleep hours which isn't supposed to be so.
In a jiffy, the whole day goes off and I feel like I haven't ticked off all my planned activities for the day. Do I wish there's an extension to the normal 24 hours? There's no way that would be possible because at the end of the day, I only have to make priorities to my daily supposed activities and probably everything will be in place.
I know this and many more might be every other person's challenges, utilizing our time to perfectly fit into our daily plans.
For some of us, it even ends up in procrastinating the things we are supposed to do which we would end up not doing.
The times when we subscribe for some courses (either free or paid) to enhance our careers and the courses stays there using months without been opened let alone getting the knowledge we initially intended to get.
You know those job application links shared by friends or family but you later saw the notification of "application for this vacancy is closed" at the time you finally remember to click on the link to apply.
I was once in that shoe so I know what it feels like and until we make our determinations strongly enough to overcome procrastination, doing the things we are meant to do at the time we're supposed to do them and not feeling weary or tired of trying, then it won't be easy moving close with time no matter the bucket list of activities we set for the day, week, month or year and at the end of the day or year we keep asking ourselves the question "what have I achieved so far?"
I keep using the word WE because I am sure I am also not free yet from being able to utilize my TIME well and feeling fulfilled.
I want to do so many important things but I'm feeling like I'm not meeting up but all the same I'm not giving up even if the time keeps ticking as fast as it could.
Time isn't stopping to tick and so am I till I am able to say I have done my best
I'll be dropping my pen here as my response to the SciFi Prompt on TIME
