I Wish There’s More Than 24 Hours A Day

by ·

Being into blogging and internet marketing for more than 2 years now there is really only one thing I wished for, and that is more time. I mean this is not just blogging as it also applies in life more generally but let me just ramble for these things quite a bit. 😀

So in one day there is 24 hours. Obviously most don’t even use half of  and neither do I but I think it would make sense if it’s longer than just that. Ok here’s how my life works (since June). Monday through Fridays I have to wake up 5 am to go to my internship. So basically its an 8-5 duty where all I do is create a program for the system we are developing using VB.NET. Then by 6:30 I am home, would take my early dinner and then open my laptop and do my stuffs. Doing those things 5 times a week. It would still be the same if Im going to school given the fact there are things that suck like homeworks and projects (and exams of course).

Then during Saturdays and Sundays I wake up 7-8, then do majority of my work maintaining several websites and blogs as well as tracking my affiliate campaigns. Then I have to split my time with other members because we have a small grocery store business, in w/c its really thriving so good that sometimes we need to be all there just to ensure the process is smooth for the customers. Then afternoon, back to my computer doing a mix of blogging and surfing the internet/watching videos (just what a usual teenager does) and stuffs. And yes being the eldest of the family, doing errands, performing my responsibilities are the things I haven’t even mentioned.

It’s not really that I am complaining I am doing so many things. Not that I dislike being busy either. But I think it would make more sense if there’s more than 24 hours in one day. I know it sounds crazy and retarded but I feel some of you guys can connect with me. Nope, Im not lacking rest nor am I letting my health suffer either. It’s just that I WANT TO DO MORE. I always feel that it’s not even a question if I could handle all those stuffs. It’s more on if time can really hold on for me. Anyways I thought its interesting to let you guys know what are the MORE things I am referring to:

  • Play Basketball – remember I used to be an “athlete” and I was super active with basketball before college came in.
  • Do more offline businesses – I have several small ones, but I am really yearning to start on few brilliant ideas that I have.
  • Travel – I always do this but not to the place I really feel delighted to.
  • Teach my siblings with internet marketing and blogging
  • Cook, cook, cook – I have a ton load of cooking recipe eBooks here in my hard drive and Im just wondering on when I could implement it
  • Speak/Attend in conferences
  • Socialize with friends more.
  • Do extensive training for bulking up and building muscle – LOLs..
  • Organize events locally for bloggers and marketers alike
  • Have my own radio show – like what the guys at webmasterradio.fm do.
  • Get more involve with community activities here in my place.
  • Watch every possible movie in cinemas.
  • Manage some of my “high-potential” business assets that never really get off the ground.
  • Hold a private seminar locally helping people get started with blogging and making money online.
  • Leverage my online presence more.
  • Do large joint ventures
  • Be able to have time to make a major makeover of my room/office.
  • Have a voice lesson
  • Play guitar and keyboards again – Two to three years ago I believe i was really a good keyboard, guitar player. I had lessons before that jumpstarted my abilites and since I started becoming busy, I just had to cut doing this one. 🙁
  • Learn martial arts and self defense
  • Spend more time with people that MATTER to me. 😀
  • and the list goes on…

So I thought that’s it. I like to be the most well-rounded person I can ever become, doing the most possible stuffs that I enjoy. And yep it could only become possible if there’s more time. Productivity is not something that I think I can boast to you but Im sure I’m not a lazy person. Heheh, what about you? It would be interesting to hear your side w/regards to this matter and also gather any advice you may have for me. 🙂

  1. Whoa… hectic schedules! I am not sure what internship is all about but rest assured, my routine isn’t that bad at all (After reading your 5 day routine) 😛

    And nice set of things mentioned in this post.. Especially the radio station idea. When does this study/exam course ends anyway?

    For me, 2.5 years left!

  2. i agree with you Melvin….i too wish i had more than 24 hours in a day….its very difficult to manage time when you want to do everything….my girlfriend, my family, friends and myself find it difficult to give time for everyone….i just cant do what i want to do….serious blogging is not that easy guys

  7. Finding time to do all of the things that need to be done as well as doing all of the things you want to do is a big challenge in life.

    I agree it would be so much easier if there were just a few more hours in the day, specifically another 24 would be great.

  12. for now i really not have enough time, with assigment, study, project and such.. what i do instead sleeping 6 hours per day, i change to 4 hours.. it took time to be comfort with it but it pay off, I sleep at 12 or 1 am, and wake up 4 – 5 am, class usually start at eight, i have plenty time to study, after class usually 4, i use that time to go online(bloggin and such).. at night i study and do project.. i think it well organized for now.. 😀

  13. Yeah I connect with you..sometimes I think life is so short. But good that you’re a programmer….

    Thanks

    Keep up

  17. We have to make the habit to follow the scheduling given by the nature.If we try to break the habits forced by nature,the lose of health and wealth can force to die….

  18. i too wish there would be no need to sleep, as i sleep many hours and i am trying to cut down this long hours sleep i am having making me lazy
    but still whole day i am done with my work and then few hrs with frds to refresh.

  19. i do wish that also. but being in the same foot as you are, we really have to prioritize. considering the things that will benefit other people would be worth spending your time. anyway, when and where is your private seminar on IM? can i join…

  21. Just like any other business, having a good time management is crucial. I believe 24 hours is just enough for one day. If you think 24 hours is not enough, there are ways on how to effectively increase the amount of time available for you. One is to do a daily planning. It would be great if you could plan your day the night before and then make that plan happen as scheduled. I believe this is not new to anyone. cheers!
