Have you ever noticed how we have to be constantly occupied or multi-tasking at all times? it's odd, really. We can't just drive. We have to be listening to music, talking on the phone, and drinking a soda too. If we have 5 minutes of nothing to do, we text a friend, tweet, or bust out an app or else it seems unbearable. You get popcorn at a movie when you're full just to have something to do. How many windows do you have open on your computer? How many tabs are open? Is your phone in your lap? Are you listening to music? Are you eating? Are you doing homework? Are you on Facebook? Think about it. The 5 minute process of taking a crap has to be combined with reading the paper, a book, a magazine, or doing a crossword puzzle. Why? Why can't we just take a break? I used to be really good at finding time for myself, but not lately. i'm definitely guilty of all of the above things mentioned. This made me realize that although i'm busy, i'm not at all. I have so much time that i waste by trying to fill it with nonsense. Use the idle time you have. Reflect. Think. Pray. Enjoy life. Think about this the next few days. you'll sleep better and feel better
