Do you consider that all time should be productive?

Let me think twice before answering this question. To be very honest, I got advice during my early teens that one should be productive all the time. But when I thought about that, I remembered that I had another piece of advice on this topic: that all productive work and no play make a boy dull. So I mixed both of these opinions and used my time as I deemed fit at that very moment.

What do you think of John Lennon's phrase, "Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans"?

  
Do you think it was John Lennon's original idea when he used it in this song some 40 years ago? I guess we heard this in different ways, and as we already know, "Our life is how we spend it when we are busy making our life plans. And you know what?

I am not in my country right now, but I am already thinking about what I will do when I go back and do things there. So life is a plan in itself, which keeps you busy even if you don't want to think about plans all the time.

  
To be frank, I always hated waiting but I never worried about these things because my experience told me that I will come out successfully through these boring waiting periods as I have already done in the past.

What do you do in everyday situations where you have to wait, a traffic jam, electricity and/or internet interruptions, etc?

To be frank, I myself have spent a lot of time waiting in my life. I must confess if there is something I hate most, it is waiting because I am an early bird. I arrive early, and I do finish things easily, but I have done a lot of waiting in my professional life.
Being a marketing professional, I have spent a lot of long hours at railway stations and airports, and most of my time was spent planning for the future or my projects in hand.

Have you decided to have an attitude towards life while you wait, or do you only think about goals to achieve?

I always wanted to avoid waiting, but was that in my hands? But as waiting was part of my routine, being a thoughtful kind of guy, I decided to take advantage of the situation. I always utilized the opportunity; yes, now I call that boring time an opportunity, so when I was in the process of waiting, I made future plans. And trust me, over time, I developed a pattern that came in handy.

As they say, it’s always the things you expect the least that leads us to the big plans. I took full advantage of my wait time. I never put my life on hold while waiting. When I’m waiting, sometimes I reach for some of the best decisions of my life. Don't you think sometimes, when we’re waiting, we're still walking along a parallel path?

So guys, you know now how I spend my waiting time

Thanks, @fombae I love it 👍

Al igual como o expresas en tu publicación, considero que es muy importante que la inversión del tiempo sea equilibrado.

Es que el balance entre productividad y placer debe ser equilibrado, es muy importante sto.

Aparte de saber como cubrir el llamado tiempo perdido. Siempre hay que tratar de hacer positivo una acción o momento negativo.

Me agrado tu publicación,. Suerte en el concurso.

Hasta la próxima...

Thanks, yes, unless we learn how to keep a balance in our work and personal life, we shall have no peace of mind. So planning up to an extent is fine.

Utilizing all our time trying to achieve something tangible is very good but think about a while of rest and recall that all time can't be productive..

Nicely written dear friend.

Good luck here

Exactly, we must learn that because all work makes a man dull and it's true the other way around as well.

Hi @dove11

Oh, I really liked your vision about waiting, and it's true, during waiting you can make great decisions, you can even make plans, refine them, and accommodate them, it's all in the creativity that never stops.

It is very good that you remember all the times you achieved your goals, and so you know that you will also achieve them next time.

Thank you very much for participating in the challenge, I wish you success.

Thank you so much for your kind review and sweet remarks. I guess we all develop our own way of utilizing wait time according to our own needs and lifestyles.

All that you have said about life while waiting is true because in waiting there are many different thinking running through your head, we have to rest at some point in life always there is an opportunity in waiting, best wishes dear.

Hello friend

Hearing your article makes me do away with every distraction and concentrate on the details! All work and no play makes us dull! Being a marketing professional it's a great accolade to you. I'm glad you are always punctual. being an early bird is the best thing I could ask for, it earns you much favor. Success in the challenge and cheers.

Me asumo a estos fragmentos escritos por ti y te cuento que no lo había escuchado

que todo trabajo productivo y nada de juego vuelve aburrido a un niño.
Por otra parte, esperar para ti ha sido todo un reto y es interesante como lo has abordado excelente
