Do you ever feel like sometimes you don't even have time to blink?
I lead a reasonably busy life.
Working full time takes up a huge majority of my waking hours.
Travelling to said job, karate lessons, day care, school takes up additional hours.
I've written about this before, but its something I think needs to be mentioned again, and it's one of those questions I get asked a lot or is brought up in discussion again and again.
DISCUSSION: I don't get to spend a lot of time with my kids!
For me, it's not always about the quantity of time I spend with my kids but the quality time. We have the morning commute, which is about 30 mins, where we can talk, listen to music, and enjoy our time together.
In the afternoon commute, I like to ask the kids about their day, what they learnt, how they felt etc. It's the best time to hear their enthusiasm for learning, their friends, sports etc. I love it!
DISCUSSION: How do you have time to do all these things you do with your kids?
Easy, I make time. I try to incorporate my workout around things they're doing or times when they're asleep. We have two full days on the weekend and we use that time to its full potential, whether we're going out and doing something or just sitting at home spending the day together.
You prioritize what's important to you. That's it.
This is not my usual sarcastic tone, but it's still opinionated. Eh, that's me right?
