BOUNDARIES

Set boundaries - Protect your precious time and energy!

An eternal question - who and what is "worth" our time and energy?

If we truly cannot do everything we desire to do, then it follows that we must make choices and prioritize. What do we want to do most. In essence we must make the decision to devote energy towards things. How do we choose? What is important enough?

You MAKE time for the things you want to make time for. That is true. If you decide that something is important to you, then you simply DO it. You don't complain about a lack of time... you create time!!!

Or, perhaps... we make the time we already have MORE PRODUCTIVE. WITHOUT diminishing our marginal utilities! Its about picking up the cues - not saying the words faster :-) And this requires decision making. It requires us to set boundaries so that we do not spend too much energy devoted to things or people that will not produce returns.

I don't think we have to designate it as a "waste" of time- because that is unproductive. It makes us bitter and resentful. They do not waste our time... we merely need to take new measurements, enter that data and reassess what we "know" about people and ourselves.

Then, if we listen to our self, we can make smarter choices based on patterns of experience.
