Self vs. World - Part 2 - Taking Time

Have you ever felt like 24hours aren't enough? That there is too much left to be done even when you're beyond the point of exhaustion. Our world has become more demanding with work hours getting longer as our targets get higher. Apart from work, phenomena like social media take up huge chunks of our time.
Social media platforms can help you work, relax and connect with people but too much of anything is never a good thing. Our phones have become so versatile over the last few years that it can replace your camera, television, computer, workstation etc. According to some questionable videos you can even use your phone to make popcorn which would be wonderful if it worked.

It's just a few days until this year comes to an end and a new one begins. While we make our resolutions to eat less and exercise more, which we know probably won't keep. Not because we don't want to be healthy but because we're too tired, pushing ourselves to the limit. Personally, I always do more than I should. I try to be there for family, friends and do everything. I'm often told that I'm not superhuman and that I need to rest/take a break.

 I'll be turning 30 this year, and it's considered a milestone by many. I'm not sure if this year will bring anything particularly dramatic, though people have warned me. I do plan to give myself more time, tell people who demand too much of my time to buzz off(

politely, if possible), invest more time in projects that interest me, travel more, etc. Work is important because the system that we belong to demands it of us. However, if we don't bother to live our lives to the fullest no one is going to do it for us. I wish everyone a happy new year. May you find happiness, peace and fulfilment in next 365 days.
