It's easy to fill up a schedule with unnecessary things. I can spend all day trying to buy a pair of pants, playing video games, watching a movie, or riding my bike. Those aren't necessarily good or bad things. They are just things. And they can fill my scheduled up to the point I have no time to read my bible or go to church or pray. It's easy to be filled. There's instant gratification associated with this unnecessary items which makes it difficult to remove them from my schedule and replace them with necessary things that may take longer to show their rewards.
Lately I've come across people, myself included, who's schedules are filled with things, and yet none of us can really claim our schedule is fulfilling. We're too busy doing unnecessary things to be doing fulfilling things. The constant refrain is, "I'm just too busy to..." How did we end up this way?
I think we've assigned importance to non important things in our life. I'm sure deep down we know it. It's just not easy to admit.
I want to reassign importance to the things in my life. I want to filter out some of the unnecessary items and reorder what is left. I want to add some fulfilling items to my new, less filled schedule and see what it feels like.
This will be good.

I have put time into weight loss which is necessary because of my new lifestyle. It is one of those things that take longer to show the reward. Sometimes it is nice to just veg out and watch a movie. It is not necessarily a bad thing to have some time to yourself. Some times doing things like gaming and watching movies and doing nothing but that can make you lazy. I should know. I am learning to balance things. Maybe that is what you need to do as well.
