The
time is NOW when you should make the call! Pick up your mental
phone and call yourself to action! Why are you waiting? Every
new day is another one wasted if you don't act now!
People
who actually know me find it nearly impossible to believe how
much I get accomplished in so little time. The truth is, it all
has to do with time management and accumulating moments of time
that most others don't realize are available to us. For instance,
my family decided to get rid of the TV in our home and use the
computer to only research for news that we want and entertainment
we want instead of not having control of our own time schedule.
This is the best decision we ever made. There are more alternative
news resources that are honest and reliable that do not get hacked
by politically motivated agenda plans that give a much higher
degree of useful information than the scheduled programs for TV.
The
high cost of TV programming is another issue all of it's own.
That programming is paid for by advertisers and it is reflected
on us by stealing time from our lives by taking away from us the
option to fill those moments with useful activities. TV that used
to be "free" is pretty much a thing of the past now
that almost everyone is paying a cable bill or for a remote antenna
system. When those systems were being put in place, your money
spent also meant that you didn't have to waste your time on advertisers.
After the closed systems of TV viewing were well established,
the advertisers crept back in and took over again and started
not only stealing your time, but also controlling your viewing
preferences. And you pay for that!
Watching
TV is even less convenient for me as my attention needs to be
much more focused while writing and programming or out in the
shop producing products for our customers and helping our affiliates
earn more money.
On
the entertainment side, we have found that we get to choose what
we want to watch or listen to on our schedule and we have increased
the quality of the media we enjoy by using the vast Internet to
find and make those choices. At this very moment I am working
on this web site while enjoying an incredible guitarist that you
can't just go to a music store and get his raw media from. I get
to throw a small screen up in the corner of my computer monitor
and enjoy this whenever I am doing other work that is not going
to be interfered with by being entertained at the same time. Also,
when I am time trapped and running my plastics forming machine
to make custom molds and other items for my customers, my shop
computer that is not online can be running and playing my choice
of entertainment while I am working. It makes the time go by much
more enjoyably and is great to be able to appreciate these things
while your hands are made busy.
If
I find myself in a situation like waiting for something to be
done or waiting on a person, I always carry a yellow pad with
me and write, plan, or work on a project.
At
times, I carry with me some Sculpey Clay and a few tools and make
models to create more molds for chocolates and soaps.
Getting
rid of the TV alone was the best thing we could have done in our
lives. As we get older, we find ourselves getting up for short
periods of time during the night. Like right now it's 2:30 AM
in the morning and I am here typing for a little while. When not
working on this kind of activity, I am usually typing in one of
the books I am working on at the moment. I was able to publish
4 books in a months time to Kindle just before starting on this
web site. I didn't write those 4 books in that month, I wrote
them over a several month period while also working on several
other books at the same time. Doing it that way keeps me from
having any excuse of "writers block" or a lapse in gathering
information needed for a particular book. When one or more books
gets close to being finished, I make a last big effort like a
college kid cramming for an exam and finish it up and format it
for the Kindle and get it published. I have at least 14 books
at this very moment that are being worked on and are at one stage
or another of completion. My "main" project I am working
on the most is an RPG game system I plan on publishing this year
before the end of 2019. This game system came to me in a dream
and the dreams keep coming to me and I keep getting food to fill
the pages I type like a hungry man needs a meal. This is how I
fill my time that just isn't possible to be spent in the shop
working on physical new ideas and items and it's also how I am
able to build the shopping sites I have up currently and keep
adding to.
Not everyone
has this kind of lifestyle. But it makes us all aware that it
is possible to fill ones time in ways that can be enjoyed and
be made profitable. When your call comes in, take it and hold
a conversation with yourself about how to fill your time in the
best way. Why not turn every moment into something of joy. Don't
forget the little things in life which are the most important.
Moments in time can be spent enjoying each other and our families
as well. After all, without each other, there really isn't any
reason to set any goals at all. Mainstream news hides from us
all of the people and other living things that have no control
over their own lives. Once we get a view of this that extends
beyond our small circle of reality, we realize that the web of
influence we have can make change for something else living in
our world and we can make good choices to expand our good fortune
beyond our own small realm.
This site
was built on the premise that helping others is the true key to
success that goes far beyond just scrapping a little cash off
of our time spent working.
