It's sweet that buying my orange juice in a carton saves me all the time of juicing oranges. It's kinda cool that I pay my bills online, and most of those on autopay, saving goo-gobs of my time. To buy a Starbucks I just swipe my debit card and the Tazo Tea is in my hands. To make a sandwich I just open a loaf of already-baked-and-sliced bread, saving me the time in the kitchen mixing and waiting-to-rise and flour everywhere. I've got a clothes dryer, so no hanging clothes on the line to dry. A nutritious, delicious dinner can be nuked in the micro straight from the freezer and on the table in mere minutes.
Seriously though, is there a "saved time" bank somewhere I don't know about? The more I think about it, the "saved time" from modern conveniences should have me somewhere in the neighborhood of 4 or 5 extra hours in my day.
Why, then, does it seem nobody has any time? Do we squander the saved time?
Lately, I've been making my own breads, cooking full meals, even squeezing a few oranges, all stuff that takes alot of time. But, there's still the same amount of time in the day. Maybe that's something to think about.
Nobody, but nobody, can change the amount of time in the day. But, anyone can change how they use that time to enjoy the limited time you have on this earth.
