You will never have time for anything: Time is not a given in our life. We don’t have an infinite amount of it. hence, it is essential to use it consciously and make clever decisions. This implies that we have to make time for the things that are important for us. Otherwise, the urgent things take over and leave us wondering. This is the essence of the quote by Charles Buxton – you will never have time for anything. It is up to you and me to make this time for what we want the most.
You Will Never Have Time For Anything
So many, times we find ourselves fiving the excuse that we will do something later. Although it is a perfectly rational thing to say, we must ask ourselves whether we do this for the things that are important to us. Unless we are mindful about using our time, there will be plenty of things to keep us busy. Being busy is the number 1 reason people give for not doing something. I’d read that as – it is not important enough to do it now.
We will always have things that keep us occupied. Unfortunately, some of these things that make us busy are useless in the long run. It is up to you to decide rationally and invest time in things that matter the most to you. As Charles Buxton says, if you want time, you must make it. It is up to you to create opportunities for things that matter the most. The Eisenhower Matrix puts this across beautifully. It creates a specific direction for the things that are important vs the urgent ones. It is up to us to decide how we use this time to carve out things that matter the most to us. Don’t make the mistake of compromising important things just because something else appears urgent.

right as always Vinay :) One has to squeeze out time for oneself and one’s work. Though I do feel like “they don’t have the problems I do ” I try to keep the ball rolling. Its an ongoing process.. believe me !
Thank you kokila.. How are you doing ? Been a while since we saw you on the writings.
True, I guess we all are very busy people and naturally we have lots of things to do. The only way to do them all is to not do a few ;)
Explained very well on the quote Time Management! Also given sufficient tips to utilise the tips. Nice work Vinay!
Thanks Thiruvenkatam. Time management happens to be one of my favourite topics to write about. Happy it helped :)
True Vinay. The most scarce resource is Time and managing it well means you’ve managed yourself well.
True! One has to make time for things they like or want to do.
I have nominated you for ” 3 day quote a day quote challenge” started by Roohi Bhatnagar. You have to put one quote each day for three days, and nominate two people each day. Since you are master of quotes, this should be a cake walk.
Regards
Ha ha :D . Thank you Abhijit, I tried looking at the rules and I somehow refrain from the rules of the challenge. feels pretty simpler this way.
I like the nickname master of quotes, the first time I have ever been called that. Will cherish this one :)
