We fail at creating tomorrows by focusing on todays
Twitter. Facebook. Email. Meeting. Google Reader. Phone call. Fax. Repeat.
How many of us make this our daily routine? Yet somehow when we look at the clock we fool ourselves by wondering where time has gone.
When do we sit down and create something new? How many times a day you actually come face to face with yourself and say: "The next two hours are open for my creativity."?
It is not turning off the computer. Or silencing the phone. Or taping a piece of paper to the door saying "Silence Please".
It is finally realizing that to be successful in the time we have on this world, we need to create something new, every day, for the rest of our days.
You can easily write on your agenda "Learn something new". After all, that is what we have been programmed to do.
But what about switching gears and right below it add "Create something new". It does not have to be tangible. For all I care, it can be a new scribble on the back cover of the same agenda. That's new. Write down the date beside it. You made it through the day.
We need to stop curating time, for it is the most valuable assett both you and I have.
