You even saved me time because I read your article and then went back and found some wonderful sites to add to my readers. My favorite heading was BE FIERCE!! I love the visual imagery I get with that one. My favorite suggestion was "Arrive late/Leave early (aka swoop in/swoop out — not recommended for one-on-one meetings)." This is something I definitely need to learn. Regarding my relationship with time, it has dramatically changed in the last few years. I used to feel like I had to be busy EVERY moment of my day and then wondered why I was so tired all the time. I literally rushed through my life. Now, I spend a lot more time just savoring time. So, I sit on my porch in the evening to either read or just watch the birds eat. I don't wear my watch very often and if I do, it's more a piece of jewelry than a time piece. I am learning to enjoy time, rather than fearing it. I loved this article. You are such a creative writer in how you present a topic.

Now, I spend a lot more time just savoring time. So, I sit on my porch in the evening to either read or just watch the birds eat. I don’t wear my watch very often and if I do, it’s more a piece of jewelry than a time piece. I am learning to enjoy time, rather than fearing it.

I found lots of helpful tips, smiles, and things to improve upon. I do NOT think I'll ever accept the jiggles....must have time for the gym because jiggling makes me fiercely disgusted with me! And that's a celebration of my imperfection of being a mild perfectionist! I love the blog, the articles and the photos. Will be back for more, for me. And to link from my new blog, www.goodoodles.com, a way of sharing positive thinking and ideas because that feels great to me, and hopefully to somebody(ies) else out there. Rippling out the good. Thanks for yours! Cheers, April Hi Belinda,

I see areas where I could definitely improve. A key one would be reducing "dawdle" time. That's a tricky one because it's not really wasting time (up to a point, anyway), and it can be a tempting way to procrastinate. However, I think I'm doing well in the double-task area. I really enjoy organizations like Toastmasters which combine serious learning with wonderful social interaction. It's double-task but also double-benefit. Belinda, You have some great ideas here.

My wife utilizes the crockpot extremely well. If she is busy during the day, she loads it up, and we have a great meal at the end of it. The older I get I try to spend my free time(not at work) only on the things that I want to spend time on (if at all possible). I've been spending a lot of time lately on the weekends helping out building theater sets at my daughter's high school. I love working with wood and I love theater so it's a nice mix. Very gratifying... There is so much to this post. I especially love the let go of guilt. Guilt is a huge time-waster to some of us (yes, I'm guilty). By the way Belinda, thanks for the link! Best, Bob Hi Belinda,

I tried to read it all, but ran out of time (just kidding :) ) --- I think when we improve our relationship with time, it responds delightfully by slowing down a bit. At least that's how it feels to me. I think, too, that the stuff we say to ourselves makes a difference -- I'm thinking that I have all the time in the world, so the pressure's off! BTW, thanks a bunch for the link!! Fabulous list, Belinda!
