there's tons of things that i want to do and my focus is very much divided. i've been figuring out where to start but i wind up wondering about how to do the next thing. it's getting me a bit frustrated. have you ever felt like there's so many things that you need to finish on the same day because you don't want to prolong them any longer?

I feel that way when I plan to complete some pending works or when I want some more time to finish my studies before exam day.

For me I think 24 hours a day is enough for me, work for 8 hours a day, and after work it's all my personal time, but I wish my personal time will longer, so I can have more time for sleep. And when I was in college, before exam I always feel 24 hours is not enough for me, I wish I could have more hours to review.

Yeah but at the same time I've felt like the day would never end. To be honest I don't really even think time exists. There will always be more tomorrows and there's already plenty of todays and yesterdays.

yeah that's how i usually put it whenever i've lost my concept of time. whenever i just keep on doing whatever i can do while i'm awake. then when i sleep, that marks the end of my day, and the moment i wake up marks the a new day. ;)

When I have pletty of works need to complete in urgently. The first thing I will do is jot down all the tasks in my notepad. After that put the priority before i start to solve them one by one. Hope this simple step can assist u

I try to do that when I've got a millions of thoughts flowing already and I have to have it organized. But when restlessness kicks in, I wind up not finishing any. Haha! Thanks for sharing, I'll try to do that more often. ;)

As a young people, i think such thought is normal since we all are living in a modern world which moving very dynamic and really demanding us to working even harder than our ancestors. 24 hours a day seem too short for finishing our never ended jobs. It's true that most of people nowadays are trapped into frustration and high stress level. But what can we do? The most simple thing we can do is just when the holiday season is come, go to have some vacation for mind refreshment. There's nothing we can do unless give ourselves some break for relaxing our mind and get out from our stress activities. Some holiday organizers also offering good relaxing treatment. When we are working, 24 hours seem too long but when a job haven't finished yet we might hoping to have more time for finishing that job on that day because tomorrow we need to do another job, but when we take holiday, 24 hours gone very fast. So, when we have many activities to do, our time seem running slowly. Have a nice day and happy mylotting.

i believe so too! and yeah, everything in this generation is so fast-paced we've got to work twice as hard to catch up. and after all the workloads, and the stress, it really pays to just distress for a day or two or even for a week, and yes sometimes it doesn't feel enough but oh well. maybe i should just keep in mind how good it feels to be productive. :) thanks for sharing!

sheesh. there goes our attention span. i've been trying to avoid multi-tasking since i've read that it shorten people's attention span, but sometimes it really just can't be helped! then eventually i wind up so restless. then i realized that i've spent so much time on my restlessness i didn't actually finish anything. which is a major bummer. but oh well, accomplishment of tasks and having people to benefit from it is always always fulfilling, right? thanks for sharing your thought! :D

There is always one or two more things that I wish I had time to complete. Twenty four hours does not seem like enough in these cases. It is close. I don't want too much more time. Maybe a few more hours in the day. Then again, if that happens, there may be even more that I thought I could get done. So it spirals from there I think. Still, yes, there are times where I felt like 24 hours is not enough time during the day.

Hi,there.These days I have there exams ,so sometimes I feel 24 hours is not enough for a day ,but even this I still can find some time to do others things I want to do,such as reading novels and surfing the internet.But when I don't have some important things to do ,I feel that 24 hours a day is so long for a day. I wish time didn't go so slowly at that time.So I think 24 hours is enough or not depends on your mood and whether you have a lot of things to do.

Hi hannanable78, I'm sure you are not alone. I feel this all the time. When I'm into something, be it writing a software program, writing some articles, or building some DIY stuff, I would want to concentrate fully on it, and if possible, finish it at one go. Sometimes, I even forego my meals and skip a few hours of sleep just to do what I want to do. The shortage of time doesn't only apply to work. When I was having good times with my family, every time it seems to be so short-lived. Maybe you only realize time is passing by fast when you need to use it.
