Plans For The Week (19)

Blogoratti August 16, 2015

Quote of the day:
The world is a looking glass and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. 
-William M. Thackeray


Imagine if we all had an extra hour -making 25 hours a day, how would you spend the extra hour? I'll probably spend mine reading.

We are half way through the month, but it sure doesn't feel that way. I'd rather learn to prioritize things in a better fashion, and to see value in every moment, a far cry from having to limit myself to always thinking "there's not enough time".

A lot of events occurred during the past week, and the most recent news about a missing Indonesia plane carrying 54 passengers and crew over Papua, is indeed sad.

Its the start of a new week, which is no different from the others, so here are some of my plans.

1. Spend 15 minutes on quiet reflection daily.
2. Prioritize things to maximize time.
3. Read at least one book.
4. Re-organize my work area.
5. Make each day a masterpiece.
6. Just be happy and stress free.
7. Work on a side project
8. Dream Big.


There goes some of my plans for the coming week, have a good start to the week and hope you've made your plans too. Be great!


 Peace & Love always*

    It's always a good idea to prioritize. It's the only way
    I get anything done. When I see a list in front of me
    I do it, mostly because it feel so good when I cross
    it off. LOL

    I'm so guilty of feeling there is never enough time, and I'm retired! LOL Your thoughts really speak to me. Prioritization is always my challenge because I can easily get entranced away from that list. Have a great week, Blogoratti!

    Alas, I would probably use my extra hour unwisely on something like Facebook. *sigh*

    (Sorry if this shows up twice, Chrome had a weird hiccup as I posted.)

    Most likely, if I had an extra hour, I would work on a post for my blog....:)
    Have a beautiful Sunday, Mr. Blogoratti.

    Your quote today is truly thought-provoking and appreciated! My goodness, so many choices with that FREE hour. Watching television, reading a fave novel, or just pondering life. Hope your week is wonderful! Hugs...Ro

    Nice quote you have shared here. I have just read a post dedicated to reflection by a fellow blogger! That is quite an unfortunate piece of news u have shared. Yet another flight missing!
    Anyway ummm... I do not know how would I spend that extra hour, depends upon my day to day activity which is not very fixed. Someday I would cook, another read, another on internet or going to places, or may be sleeping... No difference it will make I think!
    Masterpiece thing sounds quite a task! :) Have a great week !!!

    I see some of your plans are similar to mine. So lets be on our weekly journey.
    another plane missing--sad indeed.
    An extra hour? Probably reading.

    You know I am quite satisfied with a 24 hour day. A few years ago I worked for a company when on occasions we would spend several days at work for 24 hours at a time, the experience of having done so I retain in my memory. Today if I need more time I sleep for 1 hour less and anyone can do that.

    I try so hard on "happy and stress free", but it's the latter part that always trips me up!

    I can certainly manage some of the others, though. :)

    I would read more too, I think. I really like the idea of 15 minutes of meditation. I could use that myself.

    We will try what we can... but we try to avoid ..."thinking" ("meditate"....)
    at least it is cooler inside today than outside , we are thankful for that....may attempt to start of a (non-lethal) craft or piece (to go with my 1/6th scale figures)... something "constructive ( though no money... but have had to resort to glue a toilet tissue (paper-mache) so we are "resourceful" with whatever we have to work with...
    a great day to you..

    Thank you for sharing your plan for the week!
    I plan to borrow some of your ideas, for they seem meaningful.
    Reducing stress is one of my goals and I am continuing my work on it.
    I have been reading Thich Nhat Hanh's books on Emotions, Fear, Stress, etc. and I find his ideas wonderful and practicable. You may want to check them out too, if you are interested.
    Have a Wonderful Week!
    Peace :)

    Your goals are impressive but also realistic. No point in setting goals if they are unattainable. I seem to get more done if I make a list to check off when a task is complete. So my first goal is - make a list!

    Awesome goals. I'd like to say I'd spend the extra hour on something else, but the truth is that I have so much to do in a day that I'd just spend the extra time on those things.

    There are far too many plane crashes lately... it's scary. If I had an extra hour I would probably copy you and read.

    We do so often say ... wish there were more hours in the day ... would time be spent rushing around or taking it slowly? Think I'd opt for a little slow down time.

    All the best Jan

    I am trying to find some time each day that I can put aside to relax and be less stressed. I am better at this during different seasons- and on the weekends. Love the reminder here. :)
