Am I Really That Busy?
Honestly, I don’t think I’m that busy. Time, though, does seem to escape from me fairly easily. Also, some of my friends have told me that my schedule doesn’t leave much room for “downtime.” In order to reconcile these arguments, I’ve decided to list down all of the things that I’d do in a week. It’s a one week duration because different activities occur each day. The scope of one week is a more efficient way to determine my busy-ness. The rigors of school have turned me into an “outliner.” Activities have been separated by day and the outline ends with miscellaneous weekly activities.
Yeesh. Did I really just do this?
According to the data, weekly things that occur are:
- Church
- Guitar Session
- Studying
- Quiet Time
- Classes
- Prayer Meeting
- Preparing for Friday Bible Study
- Friday Bible Study
- “Other Weekly Activities”
- “Books I Need to Finish”
The reason why I did this was because I wanted to see for myself what my schedule looked like. Aside from my class schedule and church, the rest was just in my mind. I’d say that a 7:1 activity-to-week ratio would be a manageable, balanced schedule between busy and not busy. According to this, I’m at 10:1. If anyone has another way to look at this, please recommend it. I’m still reluctant to recede from my denial.
