Finding Time vs. Carving Our Time

When we’re young, we look for ways to fill our time. Finding time to do something is a simple matter of deciding what to do in the morning and the afternoon.

As we get older, we find time in our week to do things and it’s usually there – our only roadblock is actually doing what we plan when that time comes.

Very quickly, finding time turns into carving our time.

This is (presumably) the longest part of our lives where time to do things won’t appear; it’s always spoken for in some way.

Carving our time is our only recourse. You either do it, or it won’t happen.

Later, when time frees up again, it will largely be dominated by those things you carved our time for earlier. Creating time inevitably creates more time.
