How does one make time?
Is there a spell for that? Do you pray to Chronos while sacrificing a rubber chicken to the black hole at the center of our galaxy?
A recipe, maybe? Blend 2 cups anti-matter, 5 fairy wings with the tongue of a ladybug, then cook for 8 plank times on high?
I realize It’s just an expression meaning that one must find a way to budget the time one already has a limited quantity of in order to accomplish must-dos and want-to. But you look around at some people and wonder “Where did you find the time to do all that?”
In the series “Supergirl” the question comes up about whether or not you can have it all. And ultimately, the answer is “yes” just not all at once, and more often than not it means cutting out everything else you might be interested in, everything else you may want to explore or experience to focus on the main thing, all while hoping you’ll get a chance to come back to what you left behind.
Now that I’m in my forties, now that there have been a few medical scares, now that I’m on the other side of the hill and trying to apply the brakes to the beginning of the downward slide, hoping to make things last a little longer, wanting to look around and explore and experience a little bit more before It’s too late, now I’m realizing how much time I wasted on things I really didn’t want, but I have no choice but to continue expending resources on those things until their game is finally played out.
How do you make up for wasted time? Not just a few minutes worth here and there but years and years of accumulated weight?
