The Length of Life and How to Optimize It

By Blog Stories at 12/09/2007 12:35

As I have said in a previous blog post, time DOES seem to fly. Imagine, it's already December! Then it'll be time to change the calendars again. Then without you knowing it, it's December again and you'll have to change the calendars again, then it'll be December again, and so on and so forth.

Thinking about this, we realize that time is very short--or, at the very least, our time on this planet is very short. There isn't enough time to do everything we want to do in this lifetime. There isn't enough time to enjoy everything that this plabet has to offer (probably it's for the better). I, for instance, want to travel the world, be a physicist, engineer, computer scientist, economist, and other professions that I could like. This is, obviously, impractical, if not impossible. Getting a graduate degree is, perhaps, better than getting a second degree. (TRIVIA: It is said that it takes more than a lifetime to understand the processes of organic chemistry)

Given that we have a very short time to live and enjoy, what we can only do to maximize it is to be organized in everything that we intend to do. While there are a tremendous amount of activities that an individual cannot accomplish during his lifetime, there are still a large part of them that can still be done--if we just know how to allot time for them.

You might say that "blah blah you just go on and on with your organization thing" but, face it, despite all the reasons posted here why you should get organized (economy, etc.), the main reason why we advocate organization is for productivity and variety. You wouldn't want to live your whole life arranging the files in your store room, would you?

Life is short. Maximize it.
