The Masters of Time

"Time is an invention of man", said my spiritual teacher, a Tibetan lama. And another one, asked why time seems so long to children and so short for grown-ups, answered: "Children don't have their heads full of thought-concepts, but just watch what is happening -- yes, I think this is why." (He is father to 3). Could it be that the solution to the problem of "having no time" is just to watch what is happening -- without concepts and thoughts? Ha, how to be without thoughts? No, you don't necessarily have to be without thoughts -- just don't let them conquer your mind. This happens when we get entangled in sequences of thoughts, trying to find reasons and drawing conclusions.
I once noticed that if I have the choice between to urgent tasks, I choose a third one which is idle and just fun. :-) This makes it easier to find out which of the tasks is really urgent -- if it is at all. But if it is, I don't hesitate.
Screens are time robbers! TV is worst. It is worse than the internet, because you are passive and get hypnotized by the motion on the screen. The faster it becomes, the stronger the urge of the brain to relax and let the pictures just float by. This is why tv is the strongest time robber. Proof: if it is broken, you feel bored, then you start observing what is around you -- and you seem to have a lot more time.

Work

Now that I signed in for old people's pension, my business gets going. I have to do a website for a furniture store and for Turkish real estate. Not much time left for art!
I'm quilting the "chicken shack" which is going very slowly, because I can't take more folds on the needle than just one and push it through with the help of the thimble. But I'll have to finish it, I decided.
My husband is having an important talk with his boss today, and he will tell them his conditions about going to Munich. Fortunately he can propose terms, they want him so badly. He will propose to get his office here in Hamburg. This would even save money, because they wouldn't have to rent an extra apartment for him/us.
If he has to handle complaints from all of Germany there, he can just as well do it here. Why do we have the internet?

Update. The boss will not accept his demands, so J will be looking for a job like mad, and he has time until October to find one.
