Not Enough Hours in a Day

I have certainly felt that in the past, but not recently. Back in January, I was actually glad that my client was in the hospital because we were trying to get the house together for the new roommate and there were many a day when I felt that way.

Sounds like u have a full day. I'm home all the time & i still feel some days are just not long enough.I don't think u would be selfish at all if u took a 'me day' every once in awhile. We all need time to ourselves or i do anyway, lol.Happy weekend to u.

Oh, I wish that I could get back into getting up early. Unfortunately, my boyfriend and I have both been sleeping in recently; he seems to have converted me to his schedule. Typically, my day doesn't start before 9 a.m. So, it's not a surprise that I feel like I blink and the day is over before I've even gotten much of anything done.

Butterfly,I feel like there is not enough hours in the day from time to time! Even though I am single and live by myself! I usaully don't feel like this on my days off but during the work week yes! With my job and work I sometimes don't get everything done in a day! If that happens I end up doing it on the weekend when I am usually off! To bad there is mot more then 24 hours in a day! It would help!

Definitely! 24 hours in a day seem to drift away so fast these days- with the chores that needs to be done everyday, errands to make, one barely has to really have a relaxing time with oneself.

Well, sometime you have many things to do then you feel that 24 hours a day is very short...but sometime you have nothing to do and you will feel that 24 hours a day is too long..you are an active person, i think , that's why even in a day off, you still wake up so early and do many things... Have a nice day!!!

often there are not enough hours for me as well. I have work, and then family members who need help. Then there is my hubby who wants to be on my list. And of course my friends online and off want my attention as well. I can so identify the need to just sit and do nothing but recharge.

Back home on Mars, a day is 24 and a half hours long... maybe that's why we can never get everything done here on Earth. I want to visit my auntie, too. She's only 90.

i think there are days like that. especially for the working people of which i was once one of those. now there are days that are way to long. since im retired an old man i worked with once had a great reply when i asked him how he could be at work so early in the morning and all happy and chipper when he could retire he said its something to get up for. if i didnt have this job id lay in bed all day and eventually just die. after all these years i know now what he meant.

Most definitely! I have 2 kids . . . one is 7 and the other is 2. My hubby is out from about 7am to around 8pm . . . so I hold the fort all day. I get my daughter up and ready for school - meanwhile getting the little one up too. I get breakfast and snack/lunch out, take my daughter to school along with the little one who has to come by no choice, then my son and I walk around to find his roly pollies, then we get to his class . . . then we run errands or sometimes go on our adventures. Then we come home and he goes down for a nap (most times). I have an hour and a half of some me time maybe which means getting lunch for me and having some computer time). Then it's time to get my son out of bed, pick up my daughter, possibly play around at school, get her home, do homework, then go to tae kwon do, then go home, get dinner out, wash up, get kids in bath and bed . . . and by that time the day is done and I've barely gotten anything else done!! Phew!! It'd be easier if I didn't sleep at all, but that's just not possible. So in short, you are right, there aren't enough hours in the day!! Oh yes, and I like to get up as early as possible too . . . it doesn't always work out the way I want it to!!

Hi Butterfly, I definately use to have that feeling when I was younger and working...Now that I am not working and not at young I have had that thought in many years...MY grandmother use to tell I would get here and now I am...Here means to the point where everyday is preciouis and I would just be happy for the time I hajve one this earth and she alway use to say " stop wishing your time away"...take the time for what it is....

I prioritize my task so I can be able to do what should be done first. I based my decisions on the importance and the urgency of the matter. Is this thing important and urgent? or this thing might be important but not urgent. If there are times that I think I don't have enough time to do all the things that should be done, it is okay. There is still tomorrow.

Hi friend, same here, 24 hours is not enough for busy persons like us, most of the days i wake up around 5 am and start to do all my activities, i go to bed around 10.30, but don't get a proper sleep till 11.30, i think about my activities for around 1 hour and plan about the next day

I feel like that most days. I am a stay at home mom and you would think I would have all day to do things but chasing around a 16 more old takes up a lot of the time. I have plans each day of things I want to get done and it rarely all gets accomplished.

Yes, I used to feel that all of the time but now, due to urgery I have slowed down. I know that when I get back home then my life will be busy again with part time work, children and grandchildren. My grand twins are already living at my house. So it will be bck to being busy not bored

Money is not enough and Time is never enough! Everyone wish they could have more that 24 hours in a day. I like your attitude of rise early and planned ahead to fulfill and maximise your day! Keep it up! We should live our life to the fullest and making another person happy is truly a joy! Have a great and fruitful weekend ahead!

Hi there ElusiveButterfly, There were really times that I do feel that I am always running out of time. That no matter how I budget my time, still, it is not enough. As a result, I am always doing some cramming. I am just thankful that God is always there and He always help me to finish it though.

Yes i do Elusive! Sometimes i used to feel that way too. My body tend not cooperate with my head. I think probably one reason is due to stress of previous work that my body was tired or something. Or maybe i lack of sleep? or just laziness. Whatever the reasons are! I do need to fulfill what i had set in my schedule because i don't want to spoil things out of my selfishness or laziness. Not unless if my body will no longer capable of doing it. Of course that will be an excuse already and void.

yeah I feel the same sometimes that the hours must be more. good you start your day very early and still you lack time. I wish to wake up that early too, but the bed just grabs me and i can't fight it back..lol Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

I know what you mean. There are days that I need more hours just to rest or to finish what I need to finish. Or more hours to spend time with my loved ones. Most of the time this happen to me when I am in a middle of deadlines piling up on top of a busy season. Then right after that heavy traffic of things to do, I will be left wanting something to do. And unsurprisingly, I am wishing for the time to pass by quickly, lol!
