Managing your time
My challenge in our generation is that gradually through entertainment, through television, through media, through every way possible, we are living in a generation of the dumbing down of ideas because we have traded effectiveness for busyness. Statistics say, yeah somebody ought to clap on that.
We are busier than any other generation we have seen in the last three to 400 years. We are so busy, we are busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger, we’re just busy, you’ll get it later, don’t worry about it, it’ll hit you in a minute. We are just as busy as we can be and we think because we’re busy, we’re effective.
But I want you to challenge your schedule for a minute, and ask yourself, are you really being effective or is your life cluttered with all kinds of stuff that demands you, and drains you, taxes you and stops you from being your highest and best self, and are you substituting busyness, and all the chaos that goes along with busyness from being effective?
Let me tell you, a bunch of scientist got together, they begin to do some research and the begin to determine that 80% of the things we do are busy things that we do in an area that is not effective that the average person.
Only spends 20% of their time doing the thing that they are really gifted, creative at, passionate about, exited to do and the rest of it is all the dismal, dumb stuff that we all have to do in order to survive. Just crazy stuff that we’re doing.
Wonder what would happen if we would go from doing, 80% of things that are busy but not effective and 20% of the things that are really effective, if we would switch those numbers around and only give 20% of our time to the things that we have to do and 80% of our time to thing that we were created to do.
Wonder what would happen to your life? Now think about it a minute, there’s a lot of things you could take from me and I could make it. You could take my suit, I got another one,
You could take my car, I could get another one, you could take my house, I could get another house. But when you take my time, you have taken something from me that is totally irreplaceable.
We take all kinds of questions from money management. We know how to manage our money, we know how to repair our houses, we’re working on our hair and our bodies and all of this kind of stuff.
We do everything except the most important thing is to value our time. It takes time to be creative. You were meant to be creative. You were created in the likeness and in that image, you have creativity. If you had time, you would be creative but in the absence of time and with busyness and clutter the ring, ring, ring, the phone ring, beep, beep, beep.
You all got music playing on your phone, all kinds of stuff. No matter kind of song you put on, after awhile you hate to hear it because every time you hear that sound you know it’s somebody else wanting something else from you that’s taking you away from what you are gifted and created to do.
我们这一代人面临的挑战是,逐渐通过娱乐,通过电视,通过媒体,通过各种途径,我们生活在一代逐渐下跌的想法因为我们交易有效性的忙碌。统计数字说,是的,应该有人鼓掌。我们比过去三到400年中所见过的任何一代人都要忙。我们太忙了,我们比一个全副武装的墙纸衣架忙得多,我们正忙着,你一会儿就来,别担心,一会儿就来了。我们和我们一样忙,我们认为,因为我们很忙,我们很有效。
但我想让你挑战你的表一分钟,然后问自己,你真的是有效的或是你的生活充斥着各种各样的东西,需要你,你和你的税和排水,阻止你做你最高和最好的自我,你将忙碌,和所有的混乱,随着忙碌是有效的?让我告诉你,一群科学家聚集在一起,他们开始做一些研究,并开始确定,我们做的80%件事是忙碌的事情,我们做的一个领域,是无效的,一般人。
他们只花了20%的时间做他们真正有天赋的事情,创造性的,热情的,做出来的,剩下的时间都是我们为了生存而不得不做的令人沮丧、愚蠢的事情。我们正在做的疯狂的事情。想知道如果我们从80%的忙碌而非有效的事情中去做20%的事情,如果我们把这些数字转换成20%的时间去做我们必须做的事情和80%的时间去做我们要做的事情,那会发生什么呢?。
不知道你的生活会怎么样?现在想一想,有很多东西你可以从我身上拿走,我可以做到。你可以拿走我的西装,我还有一件,你可以带我的车,我可以换一辆,你可以带我的房子,我可以换一间房子。但当你花我的时间,你从我身上拿走了一件完全不可替代的东西。
我们接受各种各样的资金管理问题。我们知道如何管理我们的钱,我们知道如何修理我们的房子,我们正在研究我们的头发,我们的身体和所有这些东西。我们什么都做,但最重要的是珍惜时间。创造性需要时间。你注定要有创造力。
你是以相似的形象创造的,你有创造力。如果你有时间,你会有创意但没有时间和繁忙和杂波的环圈,手机响, 哔哔,哔哔,哔哔。你们所有人都在手机上玩音乐,各种各样的东西。不管你唱什么样的歌,过一会儿你就不想听了,因为每次你听到这个声音,你都知道是别人在向你要别的东西,这会把你从你的天赋和创造中带走。
