Hi π So nice to see you,- I hope all is fine with you π
The weekends is at the moment a bit like “taking care of-” time. Time to do some of the things I didnt have time to do during the week. Some need to do and some want to do π.
Its not just “parents of young children” that have this the “famous” “time-clip”,- …and another thing,- are there actually a “time-clip”? π
When my children was children,- I actually didnt think so much about this “famous” “time-clip”. And to be honest,- I dont like the word very much rather. We all have the same 24 hours,- but we all dont have the same “stuff” to fill it up with π. Thats a big different!!! Some “stuff” is “need to do-stuff ” and other is “want to-stuff”. (…and then we have this I think I need to do π ).
Some have more “need to do” “stuff” than others, and others has the possibility to put much more “want to do” in this 24 hours. At the moment I need to use this 9- 10 hours 5 days a week at work for getting a living. Its necessary for my living and to “get what I want”,- but its actually not something I want to use so much time on.
At the same time as I want to be able to pay my bills, eat, have a home and so on π. So,- thats the way its is,- I need to do something for getting something else I want to have π.
At the same time I have some choices to do to when it comes to how I want to spend my time of from work ,- and make some different priority and choices whats most importen for me,- some for example do the clothes- washing or spending time at the beach π. In different ways both is need to do and want to do for me. I both need to have clean clothes and I want to have clean clothes , and I need and want to relax a bit as well at the beach π.
It was very busy days, weeks, months and years when my children was children ,- and thats it! It was busy! It was not a “time-clip “,- (and of course it was a joyful time π).
But it was not a “time-clib” for me more than it was for others. I just needed to orginazied it and priority it as best I could for all 4 of us. And that ment for me,- with a ” much touch” of “need to do” , and a bit less “touch” of “want to do “. At the same time,- I wanted my children to have a good childhood as possible,- and I wanted to be a good mammi as possible π. Then it was not so much time to “just me”,- but it was a choice made by me π. It was still not a “time-clip”, it was choices and priorities.
Its seems that this “expression” “time-clip” has became more “popular” during the last years,- at least in Norway. I have not knowledge enought to know how it is in Spain or any other countries π.
I think the “time-clip” its a bit about orginazie your days and priorities, and this “want-to-do” and “need-to-do” π.
But I know thats not done in a sek., and I know it take a bit time to orginazie the days and weeks as good as possible.
I m still working with orginazie my days so I can get them in the way I need and want to have them π. And I know it will take a bit of time before my days and weeks are more or less orginazied in a way I will feel more comfortable with that they are at the moment. Because Im not to comfortable with how Im using my time now when Im not at work π. But I m on ” the case” π .
I need to be at my job 9 hours 5 days a week, and that means Im away from home more or less 10 hours, and I need to find out how I want to orginazie the time in between work.
This is the same as for mostly of us actually need to do π. Im not an exception in this “area” in life π …..but not “everyone ” are at work 9-10 hours 5 days a week,- some are less then this, and some are actually much more than this.
I need to work, so I get a living,- and at the moment is about to find rutines thats works for me in the life-situation Im in at the moment. And that means to find out what I want to do, and how to use my time in the best way for me when I not at work π. But it takes a bit time to find it out, a bit “trying and doing”,- and a bit mis-planning in between π . But its still not a “time-clip” for me,- its about try to make good plans that works good for me in the life-situation Im in π.
I want to spend some hours at the beach during the weekends,- so I try my best to priority that π
So ,- maybe the “time-clip” is a bit about what to “squeeze ” in the “want to do”- things ? π. Its a bit about tiny choices and a bit about how to get it orginazied, and the priority ? π.
Im not there yet at all π ,- I have not get “all this need to do and want to do ” “put-together ” very well, and not very well orginazied rather π ( but Im in progress π ) ,- so I m using the weekends to “squeeze” in “need to do” and “want to do” at the moment ,- and making plans π.
But I prefer to use the weekends to just do a lots of want to do and not very much need to do. So I m working really hard with that one π.
We all have got the same 24 hours during a day,- and most of us need to work some hours during this 24 hours to get a living too. And its not easy to orginazie the “need to do” and “want to do “. But is it a “time-clip” ? When all comes to an end?
Is there actually a “time-clip” ,- or is it more about different life-situations, different livings and how we orginazie and priority our “need to do-time” and “want to do-time”, and about our different choices in life ?
And yes of course,- the days just dont have enough time to “fill it up with everything you want to do” ,- thats the way it is, thats life π.
And do you know what,- I did ” write myself away” today in this post π . Its was not supposed to be about the “time-clip” at all,- but “taking-care-of…..” π .
Well,- thats me sometomes,- in “a tiny nutshell”. I was “carried away” a bit about this “time-clip” because I was thinking about some of my friends in Norway that always talking and a bit complaining about theier “time-clip” , a “time-clip” thats actually are a choice in the life- situation they are living in π. Like my “time-clip” is for me now π.
I actually dont even “belive” to much in the word “time-clip” – I belive in “need to do”, “want to do” and how to get it all good orginazied insted π ,- so next time, – it will be “taking-care-of…..” π ….
……. and some of the “subject” in “taking care of….” is about Emma. Because I think she did misunderstood me when I did ask her about “taking care of….” a young, sweet, swedish man at her age, that I m working together with,- and he is “new in town” π.
See you soon π,- and take care π
I have yo laugh a bit of myself π …..sometimes I just “carried away ” ,- its a bit me in “my nut-shell” now and then π .
