One sort of time can be so different from another.
Just because we have plenty of time, this does not necessarily mean that we get done what we want or need to do. We might spend lots of time by the computer, but still find it difficult to make time for those important calls we need to make. We might have many “free” hours while driving, but still have to work late at night to send that e-mail that needs to be sent today.
I am in the process of reflecting on if there is balance between all the different sorts of time I have in my life. Do I have enough time in privacy when I can make my phone-calls? Do I have enough time without distractions by the computer? Am I close to a printer often enough? Would I need to have more lunches and coffee-breaks with interesting people when we can reflect and brainstorm just the two of us?
I am finding that I have too little of the two last types of time mentioned. I want more of them next year.
