There’s Not Enough Time By Leo Babauta Sometimes we decide not to do something because it feels like there’s not enough time to do the task — it will take me 2 hours to work on that task, and I only have 20 minutes, so why bother starting? We do this kind of thing more than we realize — there’s not enough time to finish this, so why start? I don’t know if I’ll ever finish it, so why bother? This feeling of pointlessness is one of our biggest obstacles. It feels pointless, so why try? Why even start? What if there’s value in trying, no matter what the outcome? What if putting ourselves into something is valuable because it expands us, because we learn, or because the activity itself is worth savoring?
