You failed at the "Wait till I have time"

Coco is a traveler who blogs about food. We met each other on a journey to China, and we feel like old friends when we first met. I've seen her blog before, and the food and the travel tag are making her looks like she has a relaxing life.

I know she is working in a well-known technology enterprise as an assistant director, and working 10 hours a day.

"Where does the time for travel and food come from?" I asked.

“Squeeze” She answered.

Out of curiosity, I inquired about her schedule. She basically had her lunch outside. Every night, she spends half an hour studying the city's restaurant information and decides what to eat for lunch the next day. After lunch, she will spend 10 minutes to do a simple assessment record.

If she doesn't work overtime during the long holiday, she will travel to the place that hasn't been developed or not being developed. As for traveling abroad, it belongs to the annual luxury program; she usually put annual leave together with the new year. She will use around six months to strategize every restaurant and every meal.

Coco did well on her travel strategy; the route is well planned. After she comes back from some places, she can write a lot of articles. And everyone misunderstood that she was fooling around every day.
"It is because too busy on work, so I have a great curiosity about the world. Willing to do research deeply, ten days of travel with 300 days of preparation." She said.

Many people unable to please themselves, to accompany their family, to do something they like, due to lack of time. But in real life, I see those who know how to live, love themselves, and patiently accompany their families, are busy people like Coco.

Get some leisure from busy life, so that we are willing to cherish, operate, let it produce doubly happy feeling. If only idle, after time passes, the thing that wanted to do today will push to tomorrow and postponed again tomorrow.

A friend of mine, when she doing well in her career, in order to accompany her child, she will go back home after work. But soon, I found that she had not done what she said before, which is accompany her child travel, read a book for her daughter, draw with her daughter, and learn piano.

Every time I went to her house, I often found her lying on the bed playing her phone. And her kid was watching cartoons or playing with toys by herself.

I don’t blame her, on the contrary, I quite understand her situation.

This is human nature. When you have a lot of time, it is impossible to cherish your time wisely, and when you feel that you can always accompany your child and family, you will not think about how to spend the time with your family.

So, if there's one thing you want to do, don't say, "Wait till I'm free." This is an excuse for endless procrastination.

I like Murakami, not only his work but also his attitude towards life.

He started his own business before graduating from college, borrowed money to open a jazz bar. When he finally repay all the debt, the landlord had to take back the store. They had to move to a bigger place and back in debt again.

During the opening of the bar, Murakami was busy trying to complete his degree. An average person able to graduate in four years, but he spent seven years to graduate.

He described those years: There was too little time to be free, except the hours before daybreak. However, when he wanted to write a novel, he went to buy a pen and paper at that afternoon. After closing the bar every night, he will write for a while. A less than 50,000 words of the novel, Murakami wrote for six months.

In the Murakami autobiographical, he wrote: "It is always a great joy for me to read and listen to music no matter how busy the work and how hard life is. This joy, no one can take away. ”

Sometimes it's easy to indulge yourself in a leisure way, even if you're not happy, but if the happiness comes too easy, the feeling will be dull.

Instead, we will always remember and cherish and be proud of the things we have accomplished in our busy life.

The real meaning of "Wait till I'm free" is to wait until you have nothing to do then only do it. Only unimportant things should be placed in such a position. The things you like, the things that matter to you, no matter how busy you are, you will be able to spend the time to do it.

Time is the harshest and ruthless. Some people have a magnificent life, a boundless sky, a lifetime of living, and some people, always have no time, no opportunity, no mood in the passage of time.

If you always use no time as an excuse, then time is your enemy. If you are willing to squeeze, then time is your friend.
