Misuse

Time or it's misuse is the money monster I drag out of hiding, kicking and screaming. How have I USED my time, this is the question that has been niggling at me. Self employment has it's pleasures and pitfalls and one of the pitfalls is the readily available choice of misappropriation of the invaluable asset of time.  There are lots of reasons to work, paying bills is one of them.  There are also lots of reasons to not work, kicking back and taking it easy is one of them. Believing that your work, my work, is so important that it is worthy of investing time is an important spring board to action. I have toyed with a schedule and using this word toyed makes my work seem like play, with recesses and long lunches and play dates mixed inbetween work sessions for good measure so that I can continue to call myself an entrepreneur...until this morning, when it came to me.  My time is sold, I did not buy it, it has been given to me by an unseen hand, an unappreciated and unmerited gift. How I spend it is so luxuriously up to me, making this gift spectacular beyond words. I am at choice and I am choosing to work, which means when I am between sessions with clients (this too, having clients, is a magnificent gift) I will take my gift of time and spend it learning, writing, reading and being thankful to the unseen hand that gives.
