Interview with @anastnorth – Slow artist illustrator 🌿
Time is never enough. But perhaps the matter is more about your attitude about it. It is better to set feasible normal plans, adequately evaluate your resources and remember about external interventions, like weather for example. I noticed that for me in a big city there is not enough time more often than when I am in a small town or village, although in the last one I can do much more same things. And secret is that I don’t enjoy the process and atmosphere in big city, I slow down ( as many people from villages) But, anyway! It is important to remain calm and don’t worry, and find your comfortable and productive mode.
I am motivated to take time for what contributes to my growth and better health, family time, something that can open people’s eyes or inspire them, or affects their thinking for better (thinking today is the future tomorrow, including my future). Necessarily- time in nature and interaction with it, it harmonizes and restores.
To have time provides me space organization, long term planning, recording goals and in resting ideas, analysis ( frees from unnecessary), mostly planned purchases, abstracting from distractions( sometimes really rude), and calm attitude. Cause sometimes we all need just send all to the hell and relax.
I know it. Real millionaires are those who have a lot of free time for everything and everyone whom they love, and at the same time they can be confident in their well-being and even have time to help strangers. But I am not so free.
My own time is something that I don’t appreciate enough, and especially my relatives don’t. It’s like a magic ring of omnipotence. Or it controls you and leads you to the mouth of volcano, or you use it yourself to good use.
It pains me to watch how other people waste their free time on nonsense, evening by evening. And especially when they don’t apply their knowledge and abilities, opportunities. And very often people don’t respect time even if work together in one collective.
Each week I share my last thoughts and experiences about time in a WhatsApp group
