Working on nothing and the pixels of sand slowly fall away on a digital hourglass. Time loses meaning and we lose the day. Take your time back, don't let it flow away.
We spend so much time being 'productive', only to realize we got nothing done. We spend so much time trying to be efficient, that we don't get what we want.
At the end of the day, record what you did. See how little you accomplished. Now write down what you want to do tomorrow. As you go through the day, remember what you want to do and do it. Seems simple enough, yet we will find pointless things to do instead of what we want to do and time will slip away.
Take 10 minutes to exercise, Take 20 minutes to relax, Take 30 minutes to Create, Take 30 minutes to Shower, Take 30 minutes to clean your house. These are all seemingly meaningless things in the grand scheme, but taking Two Hours everyday to improve your day will change everything.
might try it later on
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea, I should do this, I always end up wasting my entire day being lazy.
ReplyDeleteI think my definition of "improvement" may be somewhat skewed.
ReplyDeleteWhat if what i want to do for the day is be lazy?
ReplyDeleteInteresting concept on how to look at life. Really interested in Tao philosophy now.

i should try that... it sounds like it would actually work.
ReplyDeleteNothing is more successful then spending a day actively doing nothing.
ReplyDeletetaoism is so badass ;p
ReplyDeleteYou're making me very interested in this Tao philosophy... Seems like it's a catalyst that makes you perceive and mature faster more efficiently..
ReplyDeleteHad to pick one to respond to, Steve.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the comments greatly.
It is a catalyst. It promotes you to take time to study who you are and become a part of the world. I wouldn't say I am more mature than anyone else, but I do take a lot of time to perceive what I do and what goes on around me.
Taoism is merely a philosophy, a series of poems to help you consider a grander concept. You make of it what you will and grow from it.
