Recently I realized that I was wasting a ridiculous amount of time on social media and mindlessly playing games on my phone. I routinely say to myself and others that I love to read, but I just don’t have time. Really?! If I added up all the time that I spend “relaxing” by scrolling through posts, videos and playing games, it would be embarrassing. I finally decided to prioritize how I spend my down time. I started guitar lessons several years ago and even bought an absolutely beautiful guitar. It has been in its case for way too long. I downloaded a trial guitar app and made immediate progress. Spending just a fraction of the time that I spent doing basically nothing has already been rewarded. My trial period ended and I paid for a year of access and it has already been worth it. Do I still spend time on social media and playing games? Yes! But I am also getting outside and going for morning walks and soon I will start reading these stacks of books I’ve been accumulating. I hope this confession inspires you all to prioritize something that you’ve been putting off.
