Daylight Saving Time
Unless you live in Hawaii or Arizona and didn’t have time to lose, you lost an hour yesterday. Most Americans are trying to re-adjust, while our fellow countrymen in Hawaii have it made in the shade and our fellow countrymen in Arizona have us beat in the heat!... because I don’t think you can have anything made in the shade in Arizona.
Day-light-Saving-Time!! It frustrates people to a frazzle every year. There tends to be a spike in heart attacks around the beginning of Daylight saving time which attests to the stress of the situation for so many.
Let’s face it though who doesn’t like to grumble about having to get up an hour earlier, or rant about the stupidity of the time change, or gripe about losing an hour but through it all, the ironic thing is that there is more commotion, distress and disease over one lost hour in March than there is about all the lost time that we waste throughout the whole year.
The one hour we lose when daylight saving time begins pales in comparison to the hours we waste in a single year, and the hour we lose when daylight saving time begins isn’t really gone because we get it back again.
As you go about your Monday and the rest of your week, do this one thing, write down what you do every 15 minutes of every hour you’re awake. You only need to do this exercise for one week during the week you’ll be able to find more than enough time to completely replace the hour you lost on Sunday. Besides, the motivation you get from better using your time will boost your effectivity.
For those of you listening in from Hawaii and Arizona, you’ll want to do this exercise too, because the rest of us will get our hour back in November, and if you haven’t discovered some extra time for yourself then you’ll be behind this fall.
This has been your Monday Motivation. Now, make It a great week.
