There's not enough time

I cannot for the life of me figure why I always complain that I have no time to get something done. I need to find time to read. I need to catch some time to sleep. And then of course there's no time to do all the things a God fearing person would like to do. Don't you wonder?

Years ago, I was teaching a comprehension passage with opening lines which began "What is life if full of care. We have no time to stand and stare."

So what is this "care" that goes into my day? The normal routine - eat, clean, do what's necessary for the kids, with the kids and cook, check mails, 5 times prayer (hmmmm..at times guilty of missing a few!) and then sleep". Do you see anything that's extraordinary about my day? I'm sure the answer is no. It's totally baffling that I am surrounded by the things which are supposed to make you spend your time efficiently like the washing machine, dryer, microwave, oven, vacuum cleaner etc. I'm sure you get the drift. I'm even more sure that I'm not alone in this baffled department.

I think the solution is discipline. If my day were to be run on a strict timetable, I think I'd probably be able to squeeze in lots. It's just like money. If you don't have the discipline to spend it wisely, you'll always find yourself poor no matter how much u had to begin with.

Hmm...now to find a way to make sure I have enough willpower to discipline myself. Would be great to have suggestions.
