Monday Morning Motivator & Some Points to Ponder...

     Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like bananas.
          ~Unknown

      Time, like money, is a precious commodity.
Some spend it frivolously by idly twiddling their thumbs or pursuing trivial matters. Some spend their time wisely. They plan daily activities to maximize the most out of every valuable second.
      Every day our coffers are filled with 24 golden hours to spend as we feel. If you had to pay for the hours you are freely given, how would you be spending them?

Plan your work and work your plan...that's what my Dad always said. Now if I can stay on plan..... I think identifying the time wasters is the key for me.

Work hard at work, shut it off and make sure family is part of every day, and remember vacations are important, necessary to step back and see how life is going. To make sure your priorities are in order. As for work, Monday mornings, don't jam them with a slew of appointments because always plenty of wood on the fire so to speak on its own. Over the weekend folks that say I'll trot in and see Andy, do. Clear the deck on your Monday morning calendar is the best advice to start the week right. To get up to speed.

Morning Michael - I would spend that precious time enjoying time off, as we end up working many hours each week.    Go on a vacation to a place you have never been and take a good book!

Good Morning Michael,

I would continue to work because I truly love what I do.  I would spend less time at "the club" and more time with my adult daughters and grandchildren.  I would give away all the televisions because what do we really gain from them and I would read instead of watching TV. 

Hmmm.  I can do these things.  I think I shall!

GREAT.

I think this should be a featured blog so I suggested just that.

Please continue to post Motivational Mondays.  I love them!

First, and again, GREAT SHOT!  I love hummingbirds, but so rarely see them.  I agree...we all need to stop and smell the roses and really do what we want to do sometimes....we all get caught up in the minutia (sp?)!

Busy as a bee describes me during the day, but at night I have to wind down and rest those tired wings of mine.  I work hard and I play hard when the time permits, but I do know when to relax with my family and enjoy life.

Very good point Michael, just how would we spend the hours we have each day if we had to pay for them. Bet we would fill the hours more productively.
