If you have ever had to wait in the queue at the Bank or Post Office or Supermarket – I’m guessing that covers just about everyone – you will have experienced how interminable time can feel.  We are feeling the weight of time ticking away.

I don’t know about you, but there are plenty of times when I have decided I don’t have time to do something.
The truth is most likely the opposite.
That is, if I have defined ahead of time exactly what I am going to do in the time I have, it is sometimes amazing what I have finished.

This is the key for me. Knowing exactly what I am going to do takes out any need to think about it, or consider choices or make decisions. These things take up precious time. If I can simply just do the thing, what a relief.

Then of course I have the satisfaction of having something done.
Delicious.
