Impatient Because You Value Your Time? Prove It!

Stuck in traffic? Gosh, how long will this take? you ask yourself. You may start tapping your foot impatiently, as the minutes tick by without any movement.

We get impatient when things take too long. We want to be doing the next thing, not waiting for it to happen. We don’t like people wasting our time.

Yet, do we ever get impatient wasting our own time? Did you ever get impatient while procrastinating? If you ever sat down to watch some TV because you didn’t feel like doing other things, did you let yourself get sucked in and waste lots of time?
Impatience means you value your time. Unfortunately, we only remember that when we stop running around and take a look at how we are currently using our time. Let your impatience remind you that your time is precious. You may want to spend your waiting moments to see how to use your time better. What could you stop doing? What action would move that important project forward? What things are just a waste of time?
Don’t let impatience be negative. Let it remind you to use your time better. Keep the message with you by constantly asking “Am I being productive, or just keeping busy?”
