Chasing Time

It’s Wednesday already, excuse me for stating the obvious. If you are a regular reader of Katherines Corner you will recognize this topic from previous posts. I have been chasing time for years. I was chatting with my daughter the other day. She quietly listened to me unburden myself of the list of unaccomplished tasks on my never ending “To Do” list. While I was telling her about moving the BTL ( between the Lines, bloggers age 50 and up) support group to facebook, I mentioned how long it had taken for me to take photos, add the pretty details, watermark, etcetera and get them loaded onto the BTL group on facebook. SHe stopped me right there. She said, “Mom, watch this”, she showed me her phone, as she took a millisecond to find a pretty photo from her favorite free photo place (somewhere, I suspect she has little elves involved) added the title “ lifestyle blogs” and then she loaded it onto facebook. Time spent doing this task less, than a minute, seriously a minute! She looked at me and said, “Mom, you make so much extra work for yourself, nobody will recognize the work involved only that it has been done”. Then she said, “Mom…you are not using your time wisely”.

Do you know that feeling when you are drinking from a glass filled with ice and your favorite beverage and you tip it up to far and the ice and beverage splashes onto you or down your shirt? Yes it was like that, bam here’s some ice down your shirt mom, and you are welcome.

So today’s post isn’t a recipe, a craft, or anything filled with fancy, it’s just me sharing the ice down my shirt, and me admitting I need to work smarter not harder. I will save you the pie chart, graph or other visual aid showing how I use my time. Instead I will share these pretty daisies; our local Walmart often has bouquets of flowers for $5. I will invite you to join us for the TFT (Thursday Favorite Things) blog link party tomorrow and ask you…

    Yes, I am always chasing time, wondering if what I am doing is really what I need to be doing. For me, it is always hard to separate “accomplishing something” from “doing what I really want to be doing.” I’m learning to choose joy more, rather than “chores” that just have to be done over and over again anyway. Oh, I wish I were more tech savvy! There is always so much to learn. I think the “younger” generation is more intuitive about tech things because they don’t remember a time it wasn’t used. Sometimes, I still long for good ole paper and pencil! You do so much, Katie, and I admire all of your hard work. You do so much behind the scenes that helps all of us bloggers. Thank you for all you do. You are appreciated!!

    And we could all use those extra moments to do something nice for ourselves. Maybe your daughter could sign those of us technology challenged up for lessons.

    Such a good point! There are so many parts of life we can streamline and yet it is easy to stay busy and do things the same way we have been doing them! Good reminder to evaluate and change some things! Thank you. 🙂

    Nothing like a younger person performing in a minute a task that takes us an hour to humble us, right? This is an ongoing challenge. I love her point that just because we may spend a lot of time on something doesn’t mean that it is worthy of praise or valuable. It is up to us to pursue efficiency, protect our time and make wise choices. (I LOVE daisies!)

    Oh my, this sounds like something both of my daughters might say to me! I’m one who is constantly busy but at the end of the day wonder what I’ve accomplished! I’m ready to work smarter and welcome you tips.

    Aw, Katie I have been known to waste a bit of time here myself. But have also tried to stream line things better for myself, as well. Still a work in progress though. Hugs and Happy Wednesday now!! <3 xoxo

    Thank you my dear friend for the sweet reminder – we are both devoted to our craft, and it causes us much extra work to get everything “just so.” I completely understand, and will take your daughter’s advice and work smarter not harder. Love you, N
