Many people want to learn something, such as a musical instrument, a handicraft, or a different language. Having no time to learn something is one of the reasons why people don’t start something but is that true?
Masami and I often hear, “I really want to learn English but, I don’t have time.”. In recent times, Masami and I go out much less due to the ongoing pandemic and the Government’s request to stay home. We have more time at home because of this, thank you for the time, what shall I do?
Too much of a good thing?
Having extra time at home is free time and, that’s a good thing, right? Are you in a similar situation? Are you using your free time for yourself or for work? As I work from home, it’s easy to work accidentally, “I’ve got some free time this evening, I’ll finish that job later.”.
The hours that Masami and I work, fit in with our students’ lives, so, we could start at 9 a.m. and finish after 10 p.m. Between these hours, we tend to the business side, teaching, cleaning the classroom, contacting students, or even writing this blog. But, promoting, creating materials, or discussing work and business can happen at ANY time of the day. It’s easy to spend our whole time working. I’m mindful to make time for myself, to follow my interests and not give it to work.
My time
Last year I grew a cherry tomato plant for the first time, I called it Tommy. It wasn’t a great success but, I did succeed. I managed to fit that into my day quite easily. I tended to Tommy at the best times of the day. Those times were Tommy’s, although, in reality, they were mine. Unfortunately, Tommy didn’t survive the summer, during my time taking (bad) care of it, it wasn’t work-time.
Find time
Whatever your interests may be, it is possible to find time on the busiest of days. Finding a few minutes a day, every day, will help you escape your work-time (that includes housework, too!) and help you get what you really want. This year, Tommy the Second will be in better hands.
