So I'm Procrastinating My Homework....

Ok, at work, nothing to do really. I mean, I guess I could find something, but I really should be doing homework. Haha rigggghhhhttt. Homework. At work. Yeah, not very motivated to do that. So instead I decided to take a look at what the 'perfect,' organized, balanced person should be doing everyday. Take a look:

Sleep 8 hrs a night x 7 nights - 56 hrs.
Work - 20 hrs.
School 15 credit hours - roughly 14 hrs.
Homework 3 hrs. per every hour in class - 45 hrs.
Eating and food prep. at least 30 min. 3 times a day - 10.5
Exercise at least 1 hr. a day - 7 hrs.
Transportation - we all gotta get where we need to go right? - maybe an hr. a day - 7 hrs.
Church attendance, activities, and calling responsibilities - 6 hrs.
Service hours - 3 hrs.

I think that about sums the basics up, so if we add it all up we come up with.....168.5 hrs a week.

BUT WAIT!!!

There are only 168 hours a week!

And what about my getting ready for the day time....
        And that time I need to run errands...       
                 And my showering time....
                         And time to clean my apartment.....
                                 And wind down time.....
                                          And time for scripture study....
                                 And time to talk with my roommates...
                        And  time for weekend (or weekday) parties...
               And time to call/visit/socialize with a friend...
     And what about time for "wholesome recreational activities"...
And time to relax...

Hmmm....seems to me that there's no way on earth to ever accomplish everything like we are supposed to. There's no way anybody could do everything with the amount of time we're given.  I guess that's where prioritizing comes in. Do what's most important, and do what you can, then let go of the rest.

    Or you could be like me, and come home TOTALLY motivated to work your tail off for an hour or two, and instead sit on the couch and watch three episodes of Hannah Montana... oops.

    But seriously, it's true. Do your best and say a prayer, and Heavenly Father will help you accomplish more than you thought possible!
