I have more than enough time for all I want to do
- Как нужно распоряжаться своим временем, чтобы быть успешным?
- Не могу сказать, это мой больной вопрос, над которым я постоянно думаю.
- Как, вы не считаете себя успешной?
- Абсолютно нет.
- Этого просто не может быть, я считаю вас очень успешной. Должно быть у вас завышенные цели.

I Don't Have Enough Time
How often do you hear yourself saying you don't have enough time? Even if you're not saying it out loud, I bet you think it. "I wish I had more time" or "There's never enough hours in a day" are statements voiced every day by most people. It's a fact of life that there just isn't enough time. There never has been and never will be more than 24 hours in each day. So, why can some people achieve more in less time? I suggest one of the reasons is attitude of mind.
While you have the attitude of mind that you don't have enough time, your actions will support this. What you think will be revealed in your life. You can however choose to change your attitude of mind. People who feel they've got enough time to do what they want and time doesn't rule their lives, have mastered this attitude change. Telling yourself you don't have enough time can be purely an excuse.
Using time as an excuse often leaves us stuck; it doesn't open up the opportunity to explore what you can do about it. Let's take the example of Colin who says he doesn't have enough time to spend with his family. If he starts to look at this aspect, this may require him to change and for most people, change feels scary. Saying "I don't have enough time" is an easier option. If Colin is totally honest with himself, he may find he doesn't want to spend time with his family doing certain things and for whatever reason, feels unable to tell them this.
Not having enough time is an acceptable excuse for most people nowadays. However, you need to be aware that this may be keeping you stuck in many areas of your life and business. This excuse of not having enough time stops you from exploring opportunities. But when you're totally focused on the task you're doing, you'll achieve things much more quickly. Focused attention allows us to achieve more. As I mentioned earlier, it's your attitude of mind that counts here and when you start thinking "I have more than enough time for all I want to do", you start opening up the possibilities. This attitude allows you to focus and not waste time.
When you hear yourself say "I don't have enough time", I encourage you to stop and reflect for a few seconds to consider what really lies behind this excuse. Then turn it around to "I have more than enough time" and see what that allows you to do.
