I was sitting at the auto dealer today for some scheduled maintenance
on my van. There were six other customers, five of them watching
television and one reading a magazine that was available. It just never
ceases to amaze me how much precious time people waste. I am not saying
that every minute has to be productive but it should be used to
maximize the enjoyment of life even if it has to do with relaxation.
Simple planning like having a book or magazine that you want to read
always on hand could certainly improve the quality of your life. I
chose to use the time to further plan out my week and get rid of some
of the junk in my day planner. Many times I take my iPod to listen to
podcasts or music that I enjoy. I just feel that we should all control
what we want to absorb as opposed to some outside source whether it be
the car dealer or the media which is the main source of information in
these types of settings. A little planning can go along way to living a
more interesting and fulfilling life.
