Runners Stop And Walk

The following is a list of activities, errands, and daily routine off the top of my head:

*Shine shoes
*Iron
*Cook
*Pay bills
*Watch anime
*Water my plants
*Fill my car with gas
*Read
*Laundry
*Gym
*Meetings
*Deadlines
*Sleep
*Naps
*Check oil and tires in car
*Shopping for groceries and bare necessities
*Appointments
*Bank
*Download mp3
*Write Blogs ^_^
*Cleaning
*Special personal projects such as researching for a new laptop, learning how to sew, and updating my webpage
*Having fun such as going to Santa Cruz, being with family and friends, and playing Team Fortress 2

If I do 20 different activities and errands at the same time, I'm a fool. The reality is today's living there is so much to do, and as we more forward, there are more choices to live our lives—yet, time remains the same with 24 hours in a day.

Take your time. Life is not meant to be rushed, rushed, rushed. I believe we can live an enjoyable life in the Information Age. Let's say you die tomorrow. Life continues to move forward with work, rest, play, and family. There are deaths, crimes, and companies going bankrupt. On the other hand, there are marriages, newborns, and people earning promotions. The daily life never changes including working for income, paying taxes, and getting gas. Find time to enjoy life and have fun. No regrets. A worker's email inbox and desk inbox are never empty.

A person has two choices in life. The first choice is running here and there completing tasks hastily and prone to errors scaring people as you keep going and going and going. The second choice is walking here and there completing one task one at a time and having a conversation with people as you keep going and stopping and going and stopping.
